Dear Suzie, Cushing, Chawner, Louise and Lindley and all family members,
I haven't seen any of you (except for Suzie) in many years, but have thought about the fun we used to have when we visited your home as children. I have very fond memories of those times which include your Mom and Dad as well. It sounds like your Mom lived a long full life and was very blessed having you all around her. Sending prayers for peace to all.
Warmly, Laure Spooner Frank
