Lynn, Kurt, Scott and Dana,
I am so sorry about your mom. She and I worked together in the Kiwi Sales Program. She was my coordinator. What a great lady! She was always ready to help and she was a great worker. We had really fun times with your mom and dad in Riverside, when you guys were just little ones. She was so proud of all of you and what you had accompllished. I am so sorry I will be out of town for the memorial. Please know she will be in my prayers. Fondly, Dolores Salituro
