Peggy, Marianne, Paul, Jim and Nancy - memories keep us together if not physically then mentally. I have known your family since the early 1950's. Can hardly get my mind around that! Peggy, you and I still keep in touch and have wonderful conversations. How fortunate we are. I will always hold you all in my thoughts and prayers. In a couple of weeks, it will be 20 years since Jere died. What a pair he and Wick were along with Ray. Memories are so dear and keep us smiling. Love to you all. Marianne

Years go by so quickly. I'd like to remember those wonderful dinners you made for us, Peggy. Jere and I loved your German potato salad. We shared great fun for many years. My thoughts are with you and your family today. Love and hugs, Marianne
