Dear Lynn, Lissa and Mrs. Sarro
I'm so sorry for your loss. I will always remember the fun times we had in the 21st Lancers! The time during a storm when we were practicing and your father and mine grabbed the flag poles out our hands because they didn't want us struck by lightning no matter what anyone said! As Lynn always says I remember everything. I will always remember your dad with very fond memories. Love, Linda (Santor)Green
