Linda & Doug, I was sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I last talked to her when she and I visted the Shavers home after services for John. I meant to come to the service today, but got my times mixed up, thinking it was at 1:00. Hope you and your families are well, and if your in town again please look me up., Gene

Dear Linda,
I am so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family. I have many wonderful memories of her, particulary when we were children growing up togther in Akron. I remember how kind and gracious she was during preschool playdates and carpools, sleepovers, birthday parties, a trip to Pealy Island, Girl Scouts, and dinners our families shared together.
She a was lovely lady, and she was fun to be with.
I hope that my deep sympathy brings you comfort in some small way.
