Very sorry to hear the sad news today of your loss! Rebecca and Maddie

Oh my goodness...Elayne, please introduce yourself to my dad. You two will be friends I know. He is a great person like you. I want you to know the only reason I would miss your funeral, is for his.

Thank you for everything...for being my friend, for your generosity, raising a beautiful family and leaving a legacy. XOXO - Karin
