Ebb,Elvie,Fred,
I sit here with a quiet thought of how this beautiful person accepted me and the rest of the group into her life. For a while she was a mother of 6 and we all felt a special place for her. She made time for us in her busy day,carting the group around. One of my most happiest memories is when she found the black bra in the back of the T bird, it was a prize at one of the frat parties ,but she thought Eberhard had an affair in the T bird, and took it out. We looked for that bra for weeks so she wouldn't find it...and she had it all the time. Mrs.K you made the best bread pudding I have ever tasted, It was surely made of love. Eberhard,Elfie,& Fred my thoughts are with you in this time of loss.
