I just learned of Mike´s dying, and I noticed in the obituary that Barbara has died as well. I´m sorry for your sorrow. I didn´t have many cousins, but whenever we met we enjoyed the time. When Mike died, only Ginny, Mike and I were still alive. Since, Ginny has died. Mike and I both want to express our dismay to Rita and Nancy for their loss.

Please tell me how to contribute- I know you don´t remember me but I want to honor your father- I know he was wise. I met him only a few times but he was supportive in his way. Just give me a charity.
