Glenda, sending you our condolences I've known you two since I was a child going up north by my grandparents home, Bob & Pat Everson. I glad we got the chance to see each other recently at the grocery store and got to chat for a bit. You both were always such nice, kind people. Thank you for that. May God continue to bless you always. Love The Swartz family.
