From Loruss Langley Grasmick, in Arkansas - This news leaves me with a sad heart, and SO many good memories of the cousins, Janet and Barbara, Uncle Harry and Aunt Gladys, visiting from Illinois in the summer, and sometimes at "Christmas vacation" time. My brothers and sisters always looked forward to these visits, and Janet and I shared fun, mischief - happy times in those many stages of growing-up years, from toddlers to teens, and beyond. She was always a delight! I will cherish the memories...

From your farm cousin in Nebraska, so many good memories of the good times when the Illinois cousins came to Nebraska in the summer and Christmas. I will always remember. Bill Langley
