Our prayers and sincere sympathy will be with you boys and your families in these days of your grieving for your beloved mother/grandmother.

During 30 years of association with your family and watching you grow UP [your mother was so very proud of you all] - I gained an insight into a person who had such a love for her sons, dogs and the outdoors. Every time I see a "Rottie" - it brings memories of times long ago on the Vaughan farm.

God bless all of you and know that your mother is only a thought away at any time!!

Sincerely,
