Our cousin Nancy (Bunch) Linglebach informed me of your loss of both parents. Please accept my personal condolences.

My family visited True and Mildred in the late 1940s, Don was about two years my senior. Our families lost touch over the years and I have been reaching out to renew ties since I retired. I am a son of Mildred's sister, Mary Elizabeth Bunch and William "Bill" Daily.

Dear Girls
I had a long visit with your Mom on Saturday. We had a lot of plans for our visit in June. Lots of things for Gene to do. We talked about you girls, and how proud we were of you Deb for all you have done for your folks. Your Mom thought the world of you and Shari.
We had a good time remembering all the things we did with "Our" girls and their Dad's over the years. They are special memories.
I met your Mom in "62" and knew your Dad forever.
I Believe...That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
God Bless and Love You,
Vicki & Gene
