Vila Allen

Clayton and Barbara and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the death of your dear wife and mother. We had such a great visit when my Dad (Archie Knutson) and I were out there for a visit. What a wonderful lady.

Dear Clayton, Barbara and family,
How saddened I was to read of Vila's passing. I have fond memories of her and always liked our chats both at church functions and at your home. She cooked my family a delicious Sabbath meal or 2 as I recall. I know she will be truly missed while we are all here on earth. One day we will all be reunited and what a glorious day that will be.
In case you didn't know and are wondering why this email is coming from me here in NY, Jim and I separated in 2006 after 43 years together and I moved to New York. I now read the Wenatchee World online and try to keep up to date with the E. Wenatchee church via email.
Please know I send my love and prayers to you all. Barbara, I didn't get to know you very well and I'm sorry for that but Clayton, you once told me I had a smile like a bouquet of roses....I'll never forget that. You're wonderful. Thank you.
