My dear, sweet Auntie Lou. Although I last talked with you in Jan 2o16 when my mom, your sister, passed away, I remember you coming down to San Antonio years ago to visit. Think we went out for some local Mexican food. Now you were the last of your generation in our family. Love Your niece, Sally Ammerman.

My condolences to the family on your loss. I remember well both Mr. and Mrs. Tiernan, and the house in Bel Air subdivision, when I was growing up in Farmington, and our parents were friends. Your mom was always so nice to us kids.
