Dear Wiknik Family.
I'm sorry that I was unable to attend your mother's service. Yesterday was VA hospital day. Your Mom was part of the old Foot Hills neighborhood gang. She'll be sorely missed. My and my family's prayers and condolences are with all of you. I've known your Mom, Dad, and all of you since I was a child on the Harris Farm across from the Landell farm. My memories of your mother are fond ones. She was a loving person who was just a lot of fun to be around. God Bless her memory and your entire family.

I'm so sad to hear about Millie! I'm sure she's already starting bingo night in Heaven. I used to love going to the family reunion bingo parties.
