Uncle Steve, Cindy, Brenda and family, I was so saddended to hear the news about the passing of Aunt Alma. She had made such a positive impact on my life and I will always treasure the memories of her. Mom sent me the picture and it will follow me whereever I go. I enjoyed reading the poem under her picture and it does sum it up of her. She was a great American who will be truly missed. I am sorry that I was not there, I didn't find out until after the furneral. Uncle Steve you take care of yourself. Love to all, Julie Cullin Shepard
