YDP/IFYE Janet,
An extended hand of support and a very belated acknowledgement of the passing of your husband and more recently your father. As you went to Paraguay in '72, I departed for the Philippines. We are two of the 82 IFYE/YDP's of '72. You are one of 14 of which 'contact data' is not current. As one of our REUNION coordinators tasked with 'reaching out and inviting and locating' '72 YDP's I have discovered the passing of your husband and father, yet still missing a more direct contact, therefore, I am joining your cousin Susan Goede in a late notice via this condolence medium. May your heart be full of fond memories of your dear ones passed....and perhaps Kirsten and you will chose to join us for our 50th REUNION IFYE gathering June 30 - July 3, in Normal / Bloomington, II. The REUNION chair is Carolyn Seymour Hansen (YDP Ohio - Philippines) @ 309-392-1700 or [email protected] ..... We welcome you and honor you. LeeH Capps IFYE'72-'73 804-761=4282

Dear Janet,
I am so sorry that I only just read Willie's obituary and learned of his death. I know that this is years later, but wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and Kristin. I will always remember that lovely Easter brunch at your house, when my children were small. And how proud he was of Kristen. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss and would be glad to be in touch again.
Yours,
Mary Summers
