Debbie and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. When I talked with you at the reunion you mentioned she was not doing well. I have many fond memories of her from Girl Scouts. She was our leader for several years. I remember at camp she was a counselor and they had to pick names from candy bars and she picked the name Uno. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. May God give all of you peace and comfort.
In friendship
