My sincerest thoughts & prayers on the passing of "Aunt Mal". Please accept my apologies on the lateness of these condolences, I just found out a few days ago. I have great memories of "Aunt Mal" as a teenager, all the teen magazines & books she got for Kathy & I and she just always seemed to understand us!! She was a kind, patient person. Again please accept our deepest sympathies. Bill & Donna & Family
