Lynn and Denny,
How blessed you were to have such a wonderful mother! She always kept her sense of humor and quick wit. She was a true and loyal friend to my mother, Alvera. I'm so glad I got to spend some time with her and take her to Dick's for an ice cream before I left for AZ. She loved talking about the times she and my mother were children, playing with their dolls on the front porch steps. What a memory she had! Once again they're together talking about old times and enjoying old friends. You and your family are in our prayers. Sue (Stoegbauer) Cook
