We met you through your daughter Judith and son in law Doug. We spent a few holidays together and visited you a couple times at Hunters Pointe.It is sad we were not able to continue our friendship but you will never ever be forgotten in our hearts and in our minds. The lily you brought me the first Easter our house was built is just now coming up. This will always be a constant reminder of how we loved you.
