Hi,

My name is Marcia Kay Goodan....daughter of Thomas and Anna Irene Goodan.

My Mother will be 92 yrs. old March 12.

She spoke often of Virginia and actually kept in touch by phone and Christmas Cards over the years.

Mother has been in Colonial Nursing Home, 119 N. Indiana Ave. Crown Point, Room 122 since last Febrary.

She has a "wealth" of "wisdom" and stories about "the good old days", and I am sure could tell you stories about her and my Dad's friendship with Virginia and family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Marcia Kay Goodan
