Just read the Reporter about your Mom. Monnie and I were in alot of groups together. I remember her grooming me to take her place as president in the Elks. She was such a fun, and caring "lady". I was so sad to hear of her passing.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is difficult when you lose the one's you love. As I was reading this in the local paper I was remembering the fun we had when you visited in the summer. Living next door to your Grandparents was always a learning experience. I still have the scooter we played with. We all charish the memories.
