Barb, Denny
& families: I am so sorry I was unable to make it to your Mother's viewing. I'll always remember how welcoming
your Mother was when I visited your home. She was always such a kind, friendly person and had to have been a wonderful Mother
considering the two great kids she and your dad raised. I realize we don't see each other anymore, but I'm glad to
have had the chance to know you and your parents when we went to school with each other.
