Suzanne, your mother was such a joy. I was able to spend time with her as she visited my mother, Luella Hardie. My mother loved your mother very much. She was a kind and gentle person. I remember her calling after my mother's passing. I know they are together having a party up in heaven right now.
Marie Kisner and I met at the Alamo Heights reunion and reunited. We were married in March. Hope all is well with you.
