Dear cousins,
I'll always be grateful to Marty for introducing my parents and thereby launching our branch of the family tree. She welcomed us children into her home to play with our cousins - pleasant memories. Though we live too far away to attend the service, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Blessings, Bev and Roger
