Karen, Martha and Families,
So many childhood memories shared with the Curtis Sisters...growing up neighbors, attending New Antioch School, then riding your Mom's and Vaughn Reynold's bus to WJHS & WHS come to mind and even our old 'party line' telephone. May you be comforted by wonderful memories of Cynthia and all the good family times that you have had. Deepest sympathy to all.
