To my dear friend, Lillian...
With a prayer to heaven and a smile on my face I give you my biggest hug in sympathy for your recent loss. I remember your stories of your children when we were workers in the Cascade Woolen Mill Weave Room...(a million years ago, it seems)...cars in the pant legs of the pajamas for example. May Jesus and your family keep you warm and comforted with love.
