Dear Shirley and Terri and Scotty,

I am so very sorry to hear about Esko. And about Craig. I now live in Duluth and saw the obituary in the paper. Many times over the years I've wondered about all of you, especially Terri, but we lost track of one another, and I had no way of contacting you. I have so many memories of Greenhaven! My parents are both gone now. Please know that I'm thinking of you in this difficult time. Perhaps we can reconnect some day. Blessings.
