Steve and Julie,
I am sorry to hear about the death of your mother/mother-in-law. Please accept my condolences.
I know that you have been putting much time and energy into helping her over the last several years and, hopefully, you have some good lasting memories to cherish.

I met Mrs. Bossert when I was doing my clinicals at Presbyterian. She was one of those people that just made an impression for her sweetness, her gentleness and her lovely smile. She talked about her babies often and enjoyed her walks around the lake so much. I will keep your family in my thoughts and in my prayers.

My condolences in the loss of Joanne. Bob and Joanne were early members of the local Early Ford V-8 Club and I recall early meetings at there Excelsior Home. As I recall. Bob had a '36 Coupe and "57 Convertible. Had not seen them for years but thought of them often. They were such nice people.
