So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. So many great memories of my Florida Mountain days spent visiting Phinnie and chatting over a cup of coffee, making home made root beer and home made Kaluha around the holidays. She made those card nights with family extra fun. All those memories are close in my heart and will always make me smile.
My condolences.

Sending my deepest condolences to all of the Poirot family. Feeny was always a joy to talk to. She taught me how to make candy on her marble countertop. Feeny and my mom were friend, and we will greatly miss her. She was always a pleasure to be around laughing and smiling, may she rest in peace

Julie, Steve, Kyle and Todd. Sorry about the loss of your Mom. Our Mom’s were best friends for over 55 years, I have fond memories of going strawberry picking and the New Year’s Eve parties at your house. Your Mom was a very giving person bringing us fresh vegetables from your parents garden in the summer, to her chocolate bark around the holidays. She always had a smile on her face, a gleam in her eyes and a laugh to brighten your day. She will be greatly missed by all of those who had the pleasure of knowing her!
