Dear Gloria, Arnold and Family, We we were so sad to hear of your mothers passing. We all loved your mom so much. All our boys were so sad to hear the news. Your dear sweet mom has left us many wonderful memories. We will have a empty spot in our lives and
we will allways think of her kindness and love. We are in Laramie Wyoming and won't be home in time for the funeral. We are so sorry we don't get to come. Know that we are thinking about you and our prayers are with you.
Love Keith and Mary Ann,
Mason , Kirk and Spencer
