Dear Patty, Ann, John and Kristy,
I was very surprised and saddened to read of John's passing in the paper. I had stopped to visit you last fall, I believe, when you were having a sale and enjoyed catching up on the news of your family. As the mother of Eric and Kerstin Siley, I remember our involvement with the kids growing up at Tecumseh North and the PTA projects that were both fun and lots of work. The years seem to have passed very quickly for all of us. Thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Memories become more precious than gold and can comfort at these sad times and going forward. Please feel free to call me, Patty, if I can help in any way.
Warmly,
Carol DeGroff Sook
