Bev--I read of your Mother's passing and felt saddened for you. It's hard losing someone at any age. Linda's Dad is 98 now and still going strong. We live at Hubbard Hill Village and he lives in an apartment at Hubbard Hill--so we're close enough to look in on him. He is still driving. Our sympathies to you and your family.

Im sadden to hear about Dorothys passing. She was a kind women and will be missed. She was a good wife to my grandpa and my youngest daughter Ali thought the world of her. Ali colored her a picture one day and Dorothy put it on their refrigerator and Ali thought that was the greatest thing ever. May you rest peacefully Dorothy. Love Jenny and family

Dorothy was a great mother in law. She sure kept Walter hopping. That was a good thing for him after Helen passed. I loved the times we went out to eat with them or just sat in the house visiting with her while Walt supervised Rons mowing. She was a fun lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
