  1. To Earlene’s family,

    What a fun and gracious lady your mom was. I played bridge with her for several years. She was a good player but always interested in learning more.

    I would see her around and about at plays and at the symphony as well as at bridge. We both retired from the federal government and we both loved cats so we had a special bond.

    She will be missed by her friends here in Asheville. We have had a fuller happier life because she was a part of it.

    I’m sorry for your loss and for ours too.
