Dear family of Barbara, I sent a birthday card to Auburn, and it was returned. I knew. I am so thankful I got to meet your mother. She was a treasured friend to my mom Pat Rogers of Aurora. She never failed to send a card on December because my mom also had a December birthday. Love and prayers. That's how she always signed her cards. Pat Rogers Walsh, Vestal NY

Danny and Cheryl,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. I remember how beautiful she was and so kind. I still have many memories when I was young and hung your over your house and at St Mary's school and all the craxy kid stuff we used to do. I remember Dusty too, you all were a beautiful family. Very sad to hear this, holding on to faith that we will all will be reunited some day soon!
