Dear Mindy, Ian & Jed,
I was wondering & was trying to get ahold of Mindy to wish her a Merry Christmas & had left a message on her machine. I had not recieved her Christmas Card this year & wondered why. I just decided to try to see if there was a reason & knowing that Robyn was of advanced age thought that I would just type in his name. I found out this way.
I am very very sorry to hear the news. The Dare's & the Stewart's go way back. We all grew up together & went to school together @ Park.
Our Prayers are with you at this time.
With Much Love of all the Dare Family, Laurie Stewart - Tokarsky & her family Paul & Alex
