A life time of wonderful memories with you and Aunt Marguriete and Stan. We loved your gentle way and your laughter and inquistive mind. Roses in the back yard, swimming in your pool, and teaching me square dancing steps. The sharing of your wonderful stories of trips and past experiences were always a joy.
