Mike and Linda
I just received an email from Don and Emily about your Mom. I want you to know that the memories that I carry of your folks and you two as we were growing up are special to me. I remember her smile and laughter during our family gatherings. She was an Aunt that we all loved.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, and your family.
Love
