Andy, please accept my heart felt sympathies with the passing of your mother. Kim's 21st anniversary is coming up and I STILL remember your driving to Willimantic on Halloween night to evaluate and help us. You're a good man and I'll bet a great son to your parents. All the best my friend. Greg Zlotnick

I met Mrs. Salner and her husband shortly after they moved to West Hartford. She led an exemplary life here as she had done in Pennsylvania also. Her achievements were outstanding. She set out to do good things and did them well. Susan and I extend our deepest sympathies to her loving family. Her life was indeed for a blessing.
