When I first met Avis, I was in college and living in Grand Junction, CO where Cathie and Mike lived. We got to talking about where I was from and about my family. After a few minutes of talking, we realized that Sid and Avis know my grandparents and that they grew up with them. Avis remembered my dad as a kid and was good friends with my grandpas sister. Small world! I had the pleasure of keeping in touch with them after I moved away and I will always cherish the time we had together. ❤

I have several fond memories of Mrs Martin. As a child, I remember her being always involved at St Joseph's in Aztec. My prayers are with her family and for the repose of her dearly departed soul. May the Perpetual Light shine upon her and may she rest in peace.
