Your mother was a dear aunt to me and my family and a good sister-in-law and friend to my late parents, Joe and Wilma Brown. They shared many good times together at the Brown Family Reunions and through their correspondence with each other. I'm so glad that my children got to spend some time with your mom when they, my mom and I visited her in June '00. We had a great time as she showed us around the area where she lived.
Take care and God bless! Praying for you all.
