I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. But I'm sure the re-union with your Dad has her smiling. I'm sure they are both enjoying all of their friends who have passed, along with my Dad! Hopefully they are enjoying the mountains from beyond, whether they are hunting bighorn sheep or just enjoying each others company.

You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jan, Dave, Susan and all the grandchildren. I am so sorry about your mom/grandma. I wish I could be there with you today to remember and honor her. May God be with you and comfort you during this difficult time. Love you, Leslie Steward (Brinkerhoff)
