So sorry for your loss. She was a very kind person

I was sorry to hear about Aunt Marietta's passing. Visiting with Uncle Roger & Aunt Marietta during my annual treks to Illinois was always a highlight to check in and see how they were doing. Not sure if you know it or not, but when I was +/- 12 years old, Marietta facilitated a pen pal relationship with a young girl my age in Sweden -- Runa. You have a family with strong roots and I know that the loss of Aunt Marietta is hard to bear. With sympathy -- Kimberly (Mott) Carden
