Dear Diane, Ernie and Family,
Dear Diane, Ernie and Family, Knowing your dear mother was a joy and blessing. I am forever grateful for her help in 2013 in writing to her family in Berezna, Ukraine asking them to find my relatives and give them my letter. This happened and I have been going to Ukraine since 2015. I do visit with your family in the village of Berezna and bring news and pictures back to your mother and to Diane. I’m sure your dear mother is in Heaven, a blessing for sure, but I will miss her being here with us. My thoughts and prayers to each of you. 🙏🙏🙏Carol Babel Merrimack, New Hampshire
