Donna, Raymond, and Ivan... I was so sorry to hear about the death of your mother. We were neighbors across the street on Everett, and I also played bridge with your mom for many years. I was thinking of you mother just the other day, and wondering how she was. I also saw that Linda has died. They are together now along with your Dad. Prayers for all of you.

Nothing can be is as disturbing as death but comfort can found in our Heavenly Father. He knows our pain and he will comfort and soothe us. Psalms 94:19

To Donna, Raymond, Ivan and family - Anne was a wonderful lady who was a big part of my childhood. I am so glad my mother and I were able to visit her a few years ago, shortly after Linda passed. She and Don were so kind and helpful to my family and especially to my grandmother Loretto (Mana) when she lived in Maryland. She is loved and will be missed.
