Dear Jack and Betty Ann,
Myra just told me about Aunt Cay's passing. Please accept my condolence. She lived a long and wonderful life. I'll always remember her at Mom and Father Charles' funerals - what a trooper showing up at her age. It's sad when they leave us but take comfort in knowing she is at peace, sitting in the sun with your Dad and the rest of our departed family.I'm sorry I didn't know as I would like to have gone to the wake.
Love to you my cousins,
Susan Swiger

Your mother was a lovely, caring women who I knew over 30 years ago. We were in the Legion of Mary together. My prayers are with you but she is heaven with your Dad.
