Hi Cousins Debbie, Dan, Mike, & Deanna
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad and my Uncle. He was a neat man and I will never forget the little smirks he had on his face when he came to Great Falls to visit Dad. I am so glad we got to treat him to dinner last fall when he came here. Our only wish is that we were not able to let him treat us to dinner this Spring but please let me or Diane know when you will all be together and we can meet each other again and rekindle friendships. All my memories of your Mom and your Dad are great. He definintely was a unique man. All my love to you...Your cousin Donna
