To the Westbrook Family,
My mom and dad were friends of (Steve and) Mavis. As a kid I remember many get togethers at the cabins, the basements and kitchens in the Eagan neighborhood. There was always laughter and Mavis always told some good jokes. Some of them I still tell today. Your mom was a very special person. I hope you kind comfort in her memories also.

We were neighbors in the 60's and remember the friendly, helpful spirit of both Mavis and Steve. She took care of our daughter, Kim, on Christmas Eve while we were at the hospital for the birth of our son, Scott, among other special memories we have of them. Our condolences to the family.
