Larry, Wayne and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I'm so glad we went to the reunion in Scottsburg this past July and glad you came and brought your Mom and Janie. It was good seeing everyone. My Mom ( Dorothy Newton ) said she always enjoyed being around Mabel and Janie and talking with them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have our deepest sympathy.

Dorothy Newton, Carol Reynolds and Debbie Kincaid
