Dear Uncle Bob and Cousins,
I always admired your family and I know aunt Kate was the heart of it. She made an impression on us as kids and again as adults we enjoyed her
wit and her aunt Kate Irish. I know you all must have been so proud of her and she was very much loved.
God Bless all of you. Your niece and cousin, Diane (Titlow) & Charles Mohr & Family
