To Kristen, Dan, & Bill,
My deepest sympathy to you all. You had a wonderful mom.
Steve, Barbi, Mark, and I lived next door to you from about 1962 to 1967. How fortunate we were to live there and have you as wonderful neighbors. Chris and Charlie and you three were so much fun to know as friends. Chris was just 3 months older than me, and we had so much in common. I wish we could have continued being neighbors, but TCU took us to Fort Worth. Mark died Dec. 6, 2014, feeling fortunate to have made it to 90. Chris included notes about you all in Christmas cards. May you cherish all the good memories of your growing up days.
Marge Mount let me know of Chris's death.
