Dear Kathie and Andrus Family--We are so happy for your Mom that she is finally where she has wanted to be for so long. What a grand reunion that must have been with your Dad and all her dear friends and family who are already there. Dodie, I hope you feel great satisfaction for all the help you were able to give your Mom in her later life. What a great service, and I know you siblings really appreciated all you did. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you this week and you make plans and carry them out.
