To the Kigar family,
My condolences to all of you. I remember your mother well from all the years our families and others spent playing and picnicking together. My mother, Bunny Borgmann, considered your mother one of her great friends. They were women who cared about and contributed to the Fort Wayne community.
With sympathy,
Sue
