To Marilyn Tepper Reiner: This is sent with so much sympathy for you and your family. I remember all the good times you and I had at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Columbus. Even though I never met your husband I am sure you shared a special life together as you were a delight as a young girl. Carol "Grace" King, Mount Vernon, OH.
