Dear Dewey. Wanda, and Family,
My heart goes out to you in this, which must be an extremely diffifult time for you. .....So many memories and unrealized dreams. I hope that clinging tightly to your closely held midwestern core values will see you through. We're all in wonder at the strength you've always shown.
