Dr. Crush,

I am sooo sorry for your loss! I don't know if you remember me, but I surely haven't forgoten you, nor has my mother, Gerda Brumback. We speak of you often, wondering how you are.

We have long since moved from LaGrange, moving to Michigan around 1981 (for my mom and dad). I left Oldham County in 1977 and haven't been back since. Went in the service.

Again, sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours during this time of sorrow.
