Mary Ann, Sherri & Monica,
I was saddened to read where Don had passed away. You have my sincere sympathy and are certainly in my thoughts and prayers. My husband was Gary Mount and has been gone now just over a year. He thought a lot of you kids, and would be with one of the first ones to be with you at this time. Know that the Lord is with you Always! He will be you strength and encouragement to get through these days. God Bless You All. Stop by if you get near my home. I'd love to see you and visit about "old times" the guys had. Wendy Mount, 226 150th Street, Scranton, IA 51462 515-389-3702
