Buddy,
This is Blair Wall Smallman and Melissa Little. We saw your mother's obituary in the paper and wanted to tell you how sorry we are to hear of her passing. Also, a few months ago we saw the passing of Derek and were sorry to read about his young death. We are both fine, busy, Can not believe 33 years ago we were all "hanging" out....Melissa is a grandmother of a 3 year old...single
and a lawyer....I am the mother of a 15 1/2 year old daughter and help my husband in his company.
Steve and I married 20 years ago this October (Bruce and I divorced in 87)...my folks require 24 hour care at 90 and 88...time goes fast..we hope you are well!
Blair and Melissa
