To: Sue Swan Lavelle & Clem, Cliff and Tony Swan This is Kenny Fritscher. Lynn and I were saddened to hear about the passing of your parents and your brother Michael. As ya'll know my father passed away eight years ago. Please remember all the good times ya'll shared with your loved ones. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER gives us all the necessary strength to go on and to take one day at a time. As a child I remember your mom and dad were always nice to me. Your mom made excellent hamburgers. Your dad fixed a lawnmower handle for me. Your brother Michael fixed things too. I would like to rekindle a relationship with The Swan family in the near future.
Love always to the Swans,
Kenneth an Lynn Fritscher
