Dear Family:
I just heard today of the death of your mom/grandmother. I am her first cousin who lives in East Moline, IL and have tried to get in touch with her since she moved to Decatur. I know what a lovely person she was and I so regret that I wasn't able to locate her. Love to all, Barbara Young
