  3. Dear Shirley, I recently saw the notice about your mother in the Brooke Review and was very sorry for your loss. She impressed me so much by the number of newspapers she read each day! However, what I remember best about her was the delicious apple fritters she would make for us —I still have the recipe she copied for me though I can no longer afford the calories! She was a warm, lovely person.
