I remember all those summers we came to Wells and stayed at Auntie Lorraine's house. Those are some of my favorite childhood memories. Auntie Lorraine always made us feel so welcome. I can't imagine having 7 people invade your house for a week. We loved it. My Mom loved being with Lorraine.
I so enjoyed my time with Diane. I had so much fun.

Love, gratitude, and sympathies to the Robert's family.

Love Trina
