So sorry to have not known; heard today in church. Last time I spoke with your mom was at a play at Luther North. Your mom was someone special to me and my family. God bless you, especially during this time of mourning for you.

Jean,

You know how much I LOVE your mom. She has always, and will always be my second mom. I am so sorry -- but so thankful that she is back with your dad where she is truly happy. I love you all.

Love, Nancy
