Dot and Ginny,

Sorry we couln't make it to the service. Your Mom was a special lady. Kim remembers going to garage sales with her and doing a 180 when we missed the street! Andy still has a Handy Andy toolbox at Mom and Dad's that he received from Aunt Ann when he was 8 years old.



Please know that we are thinking of your families.
