Dear Mary, Paul, Ann, and Family,
I was so very sorry to hear the news about Aunt Helen. I regret not going to see her in the last few years. The last time I saw her was at Christ Lutheran Church's 60th anniversary in October 1995. I recall her wit at that time. My prayers are with all of you.
Love,
Linda Johnson
