and I were sorry to learn of your mother's death. I loved your mom's sweet personality and was amazed about her sewing
abilities. Ann used to tell me how she could look at something in a clothing store window and go home and make it. We wanted
to come today for the service and of course see all of you but this has been a rough week for me healthwise. So, we are sending
lots of hugs. It would have been great seeing Kim since we have not seen her in years. Oh, and one more thing, I remember
your mom making doll clothes for Yvette.
Love, Larry and Yvonne Line
