Uncle Bobby, Rosemarie told me that she could not reach you and I did some research and found that you had gone to a better place. I know that Mama was so happy to see you and I am sure Vivian was also. We have so many good memories from the Mountain. Lots of really good times when we all got together. Please say hello to my Liza for me when you see her and give her a great big hug and kiss from her Mommy. Tell her how much I miss her. Fondly Martha Lasher (Hilda's daughter)
