Dear Bob, Bill, Robert, Laura, Thomas & Steve; I remember all the fun times we had with the "8Balls" & "4Squares", especially when family members were included during the holidays. Fran was always so very kind to me, and I know my family, John & Grace & Chuck Altmeyer, have cherished you guys for a long, long time, growing old together as the rest of us grew up, in business and as friends. Friendship was alway key. My Mom keeps me posted on you as I have MS as well. Colorado Springs area has a good climate for MS. Mothers are so wonderful keeping us mindful of others. Fran is in a better place and has joined our Lord, perhaps she & Dad may meet & chuckle over all the good times God has blessed us with. You have my sorrow at her passing and my sympathy, and my joy for her as you celebrate her life in and with God.
