Linda and Ed, I have never forgotten that you sent condolences when my husband, Ken, died six years ago. I'm sorry I never contacted you at that time. When I read of Wanda's passing and realized that Leroy and Erma were also gone, I thought you might really like to hear from an old friend. Please accept my sympathy. Thinking good thoughts of you and remembering our Elm Street days.
