Dear Weycker Family, So sorry to hear of your Mom's death. My Mom, Fran Clark, and your Mom were first cousins. They enjoyed playing together as children on the farm in Prescott along with Lloyd and my Aunt Irene Lawrence. My grandmother, Myrtle Ward and your grandfather, Charles Jarboe were brother and sister. Our Moms remained friends. Your Mom was always so kind and I remember her wonderful laugh.
