Dear Bob: You Mom was one of a kind; she was a wonderful mentor to me back when I was ‘getting started’ in Ogunquit. I appreciated her candor and her warmth and guidance. You may recall, I also knew your Dad, Marvin – I always enjoyed both of them – watching your Dad walk by every morning with his shepard. There are no words for your loss, but I hope you will find comfort in knowing they are remembered warmly.
