Diane, I will miss both your parents and the childhood memories I have of them. The times they came out to my parents house, Moose and Gertrude Hayward. I still remember Mac's dogs and how they were real friendly, him listening to the police radio, and Wheel of Fortune, etc. I remember you being in my wedding 1980, as keeper of visitor's book with Jenny Beaver.

Diane
I was one of your teachers at Our Lady of Mercy. When I read of your mother’s passing just last week, I was saddened. Besides knowing her as your mom she spent countless hours correcting papers for me. Now that I see you have lost your dad, I am so sad for you. I know how much they loved you. You will always have them in your heart. Try to remember the happy times.
