Ray and Dale,
I had a dream about your mom last night and felt like doing a search to see if she was still living. I loved your mom and dad. They were great people. You have my condolences for the passing of your mom. I hope you two are doing well.

I live in Saint George now. Brad lives here still. Doug and our older brother Dave still live in Salt Lake.
