Jen, Heather and families,
Your Mom sure was a special lady. I remember her as a grade mother at MacArthur when we were kids and both of your parents as you passed by the house, a conversation or a wave. As I grew older and moved away, the times I would come back to Binghamton and visit, I would drive by your parents to see if I could catch them outside or even get a quick wave. That always made me feel as she was welcoming back in town.
I loved growing up in Binghamton, the community has so many special qualities, so many special families for whom every child was welcomed, which have led to lifelong friendships and extended nonrelated families.
Your parents are one of the best! The way they raised you is now being passed through all of you to future generations. For everyone who had your parents and you in their lives in one way or another, have had the opportunity to know, learn and love from the best. May your Mom be at peace, and her memory live on in the stories you have of her, and in your hearts forever.
So to you Mrs. Dobrinski, a quick farewell wave as you take this peaceful journey to heaven, until I see you again.
Sending prayers, much love and many hugs to you all as you now embrace the thought of having the most wonderful angel to look after you.
Keeping you all in my hearts.
