To Joy, Tommy and Family, So sorry for your loss.
I was sent this notice. I would never have known otherwise. Condolences from our family. I, also, didn't know about your Mom. I remember the good times we had together before, after, and when I lived with you. I don't know if you remember me. I met you when Joy was 2 yrs.old and Tommy was 8, about the same age as my son, John-John, 7, who passed. I talked to Tommy when I sent the notice about Anton's death at age 24. All of you came to WI to visit Connie with us.
Joy attended Cyrena's wedding in MN. It would be nice hearing from you. At one time our families were very close. To all of the family our prayers and thoughts are with you. Take care,
Aunt Chickie
