Dear Nancy, Jim And Mary; You have lost a loving father and I, a brother and friend.I have had the privilege of sharing life's ups and downs with Mars and Pat since high school days at Shorewood, then Dec 7,1941 at Rockford when we learned our world was about to change. Then the post war years as we grew our families. We've enjoyed
wonderful lives and times together. Marson is now with Pat again taking charge,(with her permission) for our next reunion. Love you all. Bob

To my cousins....I am sorry for the loss of your dad. I wish that back in 1969 when my dad (your Uncle Dick), moved us to Idaho we would have stayed in touch. My whole life I sure have missed seeing and being around my cousins, aunts & uncles. I wish you all the best in dealing with the loss of your dad and the emptiness that can bring. Love you lots...Joan Koberstein-Mortensen (208-350-0353)
