Debbie, I just found your mother's notice. Mother has been with me since May 6th and we heard about your mother on the 14th from a cousin in Llano; however, they couldn't remember the name just the part about Esther Wolf. Anyway, I played detective and now I send our sympathy to you and your family. You are in our thoughts.

Love, Judy H. Uherek and mother, Movoureen "Molly" Harris.
