"To all of the Valentines, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Marolyn and I enjoyed visiting with her while Robert was across the hall from her at St. Elizabeth's. The last time I saw her was from across the dining room and she waved and gave me a big grin. She told us one day that we just did not look like we were supposed to 'cause we were not supposed to be gray-headed ladies. Visiting with her brought back many memories of the old days at McCormick.
