Russell, Rusty, Bert & Cheryl, I am so sorry for your loss. I've been really thinking about the times that we've had when I was little and you all would come out to California on vacation. We sure had a lot of fun. And also, I'm also glad that she was able to come to my daughter's wedding 3 yrs ago. I will always remember her, her laughter, always there with a smile. She will sure be missed.
