Leroy and Rose, I’m so sorry to hear of Aunt Fonda’s passing. The times I visited with her were filled with laughter and joy. Last time I saw her, which was in June, she told me I needed to learn to play Spite Thy Neighbor so we could play when I came next time. I have wonderful memories of her. Praying for peace and comfort for you during this difficult time.
Love, Pam (Bickel) Buckland

She is home, what she has looked forward to for so long. Sending my prayers to you and Rose.
