Dear Mark, Wendy, Roger & Dean:
I am so sorry to hear about your mother and equally sorry we have lost touch through the years. I hope you are comforted in your loss knowing she is in a better place and that she is with your father. Both of my parents are now gone and I miss them terribly. I have such great memories of you guys when we would spend the holidays together when you lived in Palo Alto, those were good times for sure!! If any of you are on Facebook, look me up under Gayle Dyson Vicol Aukland. Long name, short story. Miss and love you all, take care and be stong for each other. Your cousin, Gayle
