You are certainly in our thoughts and prayers as Bob joins me in sending hugs, love and sincere sympathy ......... Mrs. Young was truly a special, gracious lady who will be missed by many. It was a pleasure (fun, really) to talk and visit with her --- from the time the grandchildren were little to long after they'd had children of their own! ...... I trust that God will surround you with HIs love, His strength, guidance and comfort today and in the days ahead. May each of you be blessed, always, with wonderful fond memories to cherish as your very own, along with other memories to share with each other and future generatiions. Through His Love, Dena
