Hello everyone. This is Carol. I just wanted to let you know that I am sorry if I haven't contacted you personally. I am going through a rough time and it's hard to keep picking up the phone and explain the circumstances over and over. I hope you will understand. I don't mean to ignore anyone. It's just hard right now. I am exhausted. I miss Mom.

I did not get word that Great Aunt Stella had passed away. She shared many photos and stories with me on the Meyer family. My father, Paul, adored her. She will be missed.
