So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I often think of her and the nice things you and she did for my mother while she was still at home. I know you will miss her. But she will always be there in your memories.
Sincerely Betty and Buddy Mull

Dear Rudy, Your Mom made rocks and fossils so exciting for me. She was so generous with her friendship and knowledge to all. I valued the time spent with her. Every time I see a deer, I'm reminded of the field trip when we were followed by the orphaned fawn which we didn't know was tame. I am so very sorry for your loss--be strong. You were a fine son. Sincerely, Barbara Mason
