Dear, Dorothy, Lillian and Verna, I was very sorry to hear about Johnny's passing. My sister-in-law called to tell me about it. He was about the same age as Alvina. He came to see George when he passed. We all had a nice time telling stories. Once again our deep sympathies. Verna I hear you live in Jersey now. Welcome. Love, Marie and Alvina.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
