I don't know if you children remember me, but I babysat for you when you visited your grandparents on Chevy Chase Road. You were sweet children and I enjoyed you all so much. So much so that when I had a daughter I named her Libby after the sweet little girl from Connecticut. I have often thought of you over the years and wondered how you turned out. Your mother was a wonderful person and I admired her very much. Ironically, when I babysat for you, we often went to play with the Carto children at their Grandmother Draffan's home. My daughter and grandchildren now are friends with Tom Carto's wife and boys. Small world, isn't it? I want you to know that I am sorry you lost such a loving mother. She set a fine example and it sounds like all of you now have happy families of your own. Mr. Stevens, Hank, Peggy, Libby, Mark and Jeff, please accept my condolences and know that I so enjoyed knowing your mother, however briefly.
