To Linda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. She was a very good friend of my mother - Virginia McWhinney. Before my mom passed we would occasionally go to Ushers Ferry and visit Vlasta. We also shared fond memories of the Seam Busters luncheons. That was nice that you included her employment at Uncle Bob's Kolarik Bookbinding. I used to cut grass there and also their house next door - decades of memories. It's sad to lose good people like her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
