I sang alto for years with your mother in the Covenant Presbyterian Church choir in Roanoke. We also shared stories and news about Minnesota since we both grew up in Minnesota. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Dear

Barbara and Susan and your families,

I was so sorry to hear of your mother's death. It brought so many memories flooding back! Although I haven't seen you for many years, I do think of you often, and all the fun we had as little girls in a much different time. I remember your mother's laugh and voice...at least I think I do. I would love to hear from you, Barb.E-mail me if you
get this message. I can only imagine how you must miss your mom. My thoughts are with you!
Love,
Barb
