Cheryl and Roy, I am so sorry to hear of Roy's mothers passing. She had a wonderful personality and I remember fondly one day when the girls were visiting, her showing me photos in one of her yearbooks. I so enjoyed listening to the stories.

Cheryl,
Our deepest sympathy to you and yours in the loss of your mother. I have such fond memories of our Avon adventures with our mothers, especially the New York trip, and also of the times spent in the DuBois and Bartlam homes.
Beverly Shawn Guidt, Vincent Shawn and Family
