Dear Jeanne and Nancy,I learned this morning that your mom passed and was amazed because I had been thinking of her not long ago. Have a beautiful picture of her (somewhere) on the front page of the pictorial of either the Post Inteligencer or Seattle Times. Also have a sweet picture of her and your dad....She is remembered fondly. I recall our last Christmas together and a few special times visiting with you at your home. I talked with "Aunt Kay" a couple of years before your dad passed. Good conversation ~she was headed out to visit some relative in another state. I think it's wonderful she was given such a long life on this earth. Uncle Dick had mentioned how at times she was in a wheelchair. I had a hard time visualizing as my memories only hold her vivacious, lovely and exuberant personality.being physically on the run. May God bless you both including your families. I send my condolences and love your way. Would absolutely love to get together. Diane Odman Anderson
