Dear June,
I'm writing for Betty and Mackey Sanders who just heard of Mike's passing. We all send our deepest condolences to you and your family. My mother would like to call but doesn't have your new number. (Alma is in rehab and didn't have her address book). If you receive this message please call me at 805-452-6360.
I understand that you have moved to The Springs where we also have a house. I hope we can see you soon.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I just learned of Mike's passing and wanted to send my condolences.I recall he suffered a heart attack in his late 20's so he was blessed with a longer life than he expected and lived that life fully. I know that you contributed greatly to that life. I regret that my health issues preclude my
attendance in person. Best regards.
