Dearest Phyllis,
I want to thank you for keeping us so well informed about everything!! I've been a behind the scenes participant in the class doings, but really enjoy seeing whatever news you have to share with us. Even though your news is only as good as what is sent to you, it does provide a means of reminiscence for me, even if it is only to see if I know where the next month's restaurant is located.
I knew Julie was fighting a battle she might loose, and the painless peace she has now is, as they say, priceless! I have such pleasant memories of walking to Julie's home after school and her trying to convince me that pigs' feet were a delicacy!! I never could make myself even try one. And, of course, that meant she said that was more for her! I envied the warmth between all the siblings and among the whole family, as I was mostly an only child by then. I never had the pleasure of meeting John, but I know that anyone who Julie would have chosen would be someone who loved her more than life itself.
Again, thank you taking the time to "reach out and touch" each of us. Even though I didn't graduate with my '66 Pius class, I've never forgotten "The Family"!!! Hopefully, I'll be able to come home for a visit before too long.
Love You, Dermi (Mary McDermott)
p.s. Everyone calls me Mac, since I moved to Texas, but I'll probably always be Dermi to many Albuquerque buds. By the way, the "from the Ranch" in the subject box is how our family knows when a real message, not a joke, is being sent, - hope you didn't think it was a prank.
