Mike, Tom, Jim and Families,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Mary Alice. Most of your cousins just found out today and we are at a loss to express how badly we feel about not knowing earlier so we could attend her service or funeral. She was someone that was alway kind, smiling and how I loved her laugh. She is in our hearts and prayers. Love, Lori
