Todd and Bruce,
I just learned of your mother's death today 4/9. I have been trying to call her to meet for our annual lunch. I am so sorry to lose my dear Ice Follies show roommate and friend.
I would appreciate talking to one of you when you have a chance. I'll send a card to your mom's address and include my phone number. Hopefully it will be forwarded to you.
I feel so sad.

To the family of Donna Catlin:

On behave of Donna neighbor Nancy & Chris Exley & Nancy Sister Yvonne I want to express our condolence & although were unable to attend the memorial service today our thoughts & prays are with you.
Just something I'll remember Donna by:
One day my sister Nancy was on the ladder washing window on Donna side of the house & when I drove into the drive way Donna was going to get her mail. I said to Donna, “What's that crazy sister of mine up to.” Donna replied, “I told Nancy if she falls, I'll catch her on a bounce.”
