Dear Paul and Family - We are so sorry to hear about your Mom. We happened to be gathered with some St. Matthews families on Saturday to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday when we all learned of this sad news. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Marie and Family -- Just last month, when we were in Wisconsin visiting family, etc., we drove through the Highlands and took a photo of your old house. This brought back happy memories of when we all lived there. I enjoyed being a girl- scout leader with your Mom. She was a fine person, and, we are happy to have had her in our lives.
Mr. & Mrs. Charles Howe of Las Cruces, New Mexico (Sally's parents)
