We'll never forget Aunt Lois and Uncle Red. Because I had red hair, I always thought Uncle Red was my father (from June). The rolls and chocolate milk that they had a couple of times each month when Mom would stop and see them after doing the weekly shopping was just great. Because there was nine of us, we never had chocolate milk at home. You guys would come to our house for chicken/roast dinner and we'd come to your house for donuts and milk. Good switch right?? We loved both of them and they will be missed always as long as we live. Love to you kids and we want you to know that the first thing she said when we went to see her in the nursing home was how well you kids were treating her and how important her g-kids were to her. Our love and prayers are with all of you. I hope in the future we will see you once in awhile.



Luv, Bev, June (Tucson), Carole, Darlene
