To my cousins Daun & Delores,
Its been many years that we have seen each other, but I still remember the great times when all the cousins and all would get together at Grandma & Grandpa Hetricks. It brings laughter and tears remembering those still here, those who have gone on to a better tomorrow and those who are suffering and wishing for a better tomorrow. I pray for happiness and peace for all which ever you wish for. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Seeing the mention of the Buckaroos brought back memories from when we were all the little "council kids". It's been many years, but I still remember those years and your family fondly. Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother.
