Dear Char, Barb, and family,
We were sorry to hear of Lews (Speeds) passing. We had such fun together when we were young. As children, we played in Kilkenny, Minneapolis and Little Falls. I've always wished we lived a bit closer and could visit more often. He was a nice man and will be missed.
You have our sincere sympathy,
Cousin Ellen Culhane/ Cincotta
