To the Ording Family: I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. First of all, I was one of your Dad's kids when I first went to the White Cross Hospital, then Riverside Hospital. I went to the place where your Dad worked over on Starling Street, and he made my braces for my legs. There was a couple of times when your Father would bring my braces or special shoes out to the house when you lived off of Noe Bixby, there Mom and I met your Mother too. Remember the good times and all of the memories. I can still see your Father's Big Smile. My prayers are with all of you.
