Our prayers are with you in your time of grief. Diane, and Barbara may not remember me, but when I was a young lady of 18, I came to stay with them for 2 weeks. Their Grandmother was in the hospital, so I helped their Grandfather take care of them while their Father was at work. I just wanted to let you know I never forgot any of you and thought of you often. I'm so sorry to hear about Cecil, He was a good man and always held a special place in my heart. K.
