Dear Mary,Joe, and Tom,I signed the guest book in the Star Gazette online, but they had your Mom's maiden name as her last and really wanted to express to you my condolences to you. You were all such a great part of my childhood and I have many fond memories of the times we spent together. Your Dad took some great photos of me and of you too. I would like to send you a cd of them if you will contact me. My Mom and I came down to see Agnes quite a few years ago and she was so great to us. Mom passed away almost 4 years ago so I know she and your Mom are having a great reunion. She was such a great lady and will be missed. Janis Durfey- Crook
