Although belated, I wish to express my sincere sympathy to you children and grandchildren. I fondly remember an occasional visit with your dear mother/grandmother on the telephone. I vividly recall my many and oft-repeated visits with Verlene's mother over a half-century ago. Rosanna was sort of like a Grandma to me; she had baby-sat my mom (Lula Kunz Nielson, the youngest sister of William J.) when she was a little girl in Bern, Idaho. My love and best wishes to all of you. As ever, Paul-Anthon Nielson, Erlenbach im Simmental (Switzerland)
