SUSAN S CORNER What a crazy winter this has been for us hearty New Englanders? As we move from February, the month of love and romance to March, the month of luck and laughter, I would like to invite you all to our Saint Patrick Day Party on Saturday, March 15 beginning at 2pm. Brian Corcoran will be entertaining us with Irish music and Irish step dancers will also perform. We will have beer and wine and snacks galore. So, wear your green and come join us. Family and friends, please sign up with the concierge if you wish to join us. On a personal note, I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support during this sad time. My Mom lived a great life and was surrounded with love by my Dad of 62 years, 5 children, 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. She is peaceful in heaven with family and old friends. Hope to see you on March 15 th to kick up your heels.
