Lonnie - I don't have a way to contact you, so I will extend my condolences to you, Pat and your family through this space. I am truly sorry for your loss. One of the qualities that I loved about your mom was her fiestiness. I always enjoyed being around her. I hope things are well with you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers to my cousins. I won't be able to make the service, but Mom will (Virginia McCracken Younkin). I don't remember Ada very well as I was young when we moved to Colorado, but what I do remember is that she was a wonderful person and made me smile. Take care. Lisa
