Not sure what to say?

Angela, your mother was so full of love and wisdom - she told you to never stop writing - what a wonderful idea - I plan to try doing that - thank you and thank you Mrs. Ickes. Ang, your poem is beautiful and as you said - by now it has already found its way to your Mom and I am sure she is so proud of you and your poem (not every kid listens to their parents - more should). My thoughts and prayers are always with you, but especially at this time of year. I am sure your Mom is so proud of you...

I always think of you Marilyn during Coast Guard Week. You, Dawn and I had so much fun then. We went downtown to the Arts and Crafts Fair ate at the Pavilion then came back here to my house to play nickles and make a huge batch of potato salad for the party at Heidi's. We all miss you dearly but you still live in our hearts God Bless, I know you are at peace now. Love, Sue (your favorite sister-in-law
