Kathy, Judy, Jeannie, Terry & MIke -
Luella Road - what a great time in our lives. I am so sorry I couldn't be there for support - I was in Puerto Rico at a business meeting. You all hold a cherished piece of memory in my heart. Your Mom was a women of grace and kindness. Her and my Mom had a nice neighbor relationship. They both were such wonderful Christians. I tried to send a card through the mail, but couldn't figure out an address for you Kathy. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Peace to all of you.
