Hello Norma, Renee & Shanlyn,
You continue to be top of mind and in my thoughts and prayers. I so enjoyed seeing you and realize how important relatives are. I hope we can see each other more regularly.
I am hoping to get back to Clarion to spend some time at the lake. Apparenlty, you can camp lakeside and I want to do that. So many great childhood memories....
Love you! Hope your travels back to AZ were uneventful. Take care, your cousin Kim
