Dear Bob, Becky and Jan,
What wonderful memories I have of your Mom and also your Dad -- and all of the fun times we had at your childhood home. They were such happy, dear people! We were all fortunate to have your Mom in our lives. Thinking of you all -- Love, Laurie

Dear family: On behalf of my parents, Clyde and Mary, I want to say how sorry I am about your loss. Doris was a wonderful person and among many thoughts, I have fond memories of the bridal shower she organized for me long ago! ... Perhaps you know that my mother, Mary, died on March 11 of this year? When I called my father to ask him if he would be attending the memorial for Doris, he didn't know about her passing and felt very badly he couldn't attend (he had other plans with someone from out of town that couldn't be changed). He lives in the assisted living bldg. for Eaglecrest on Snelling Ave... We hope you are all doing well and we wish you the best as you remember both Bob and Doris in the coming months - they were dear, interesting people!
