Tom Peterson, Bill, Tom, John, Molly,
The last time I saw Nancy and Evie was in Fort Myers. We had such a nice visit; Evie showed us the book she organized for the Shima and Bezdichek family's and we all went out to lunch. On another visit Nancy and I went shopping and talked about the fun we had at family reunions in Le Center. Nancy was a wonderful cousin and friend.
My prayers to you all.
