Dear Anne, Jill, John, and Mark,

I haven't seen Aunt Marion often in these past years but have always enjoyed being with her. As a kid, I looked forward to the times your Mom and Dad visited Holland and stopped by our house. I remember your Mom taking me places with her when I was very young. I know that she was a good friend to my Mom. I will not be able to travel to Olean for the funeral but I have been thinking of all of you these past few days. I hope that your memories of your Mom bring you enjoyment and comfort after this time of grief.
Love
Karen (Draper)

Your mother was a true friend to me. I am so sorry for your saddness. I will miss her so much. We shared so many good memories and so many sad ones. Her family is and will always be her greatest joy. Debra Simmons.Ideal living center.
