Dear Lynet, David, Vicki and Jo Ann,

I am so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. I surely would have been at the services but was unable since Bill and I recently moved to Houston.

I will always remember your mother as such a kind and sweet person. It truly was a privilege to know her.

I know this time is hard but take solace in the fact that your parents are reunited in heaven.

Lena and Charley Vogt were some of the finest people ever to grace Lakeview and
