October 28, 1963
Monday, cloudy in am,cool, 40-58. I washed, washed windows, cleaned up house. Had letter from Marilyn and cards from Doug and LaVerne and Roberta. LaVerne and Roberta were here at night brought me a slip and bonnet.
Comment: Birthday cards and gifts coming in. Here is Fran Young, a good friend from Madison, OH, commenting on the diaries:
Gerry, Your mom was a wonderful, strong and loving person. I’m proud to share the name with someone so special. I’m sorry I never had the chance to meet her when she made the trips to Ohio or…maybe that was before you moved to Madison.
Thanks to you and Susan for sharing memories of you mom. Love ya, Fran
The Burke's said...
Susan has provided a beautiful tribute to your mother. The Burke family --on the occasions that your Mother was present--were always welcomed and treated "like family." My assessment of your mother was that she was "regal" and so proud of each of her offspring. Her funeral was also a tribute to the talents fostered on Hubbard Hill. It has been a privledge to know your family. Gerry Burke
Here is a picture of Mom when she was about 12 or so.....
