Glenn and Doug: I send my sympathy on the passing of your mother. I don't know if you remember me, but I saw the notice and wanted you both to know that I remembered you. Bill Lennox

Glenn and Doug I am so sorry for your loss. I have the fondest memory of being at your house in Fombell on the hill. Not even sure of the year. The neighbor had that huge goose that would chase you... It is the first time I remember having cinnamon toast. Your Mom made that in the morning for me. I won't ever forget setting at the kitchen table with her. Your Dad also made homemade ice cream. It was a special gift. God Bless

Remembering the fun my family and Aunt Shirley's family had at picnics and birthdays. Aunt Shirley always took the movie camera out when it was time to eat. Our prayers are with you and your family, Dan & Kathy Magill
