I knew Bob and Ruth from the lake. He was president and I was secretary. We had more fun together. How sad that they are gone but they left as they lived, together.

Teresa, Donna, Bobby, I just learned of your parents deaths. I feel so sad that I did not get to visit with them. A car wrecked and Don's back surgery kept me so busy. Ihad a note to call Ruth for 2 months since I returned from Florida. How much I will miss our coffee and visits! Your parents were long-term treasured friends. They left us way too soon!. I sent oranges to your Mom twice last winter and how she enjoyed those. Our farm background we shared and would talk for hours and how your Mom enjoyed fresh fruit and vegetables as I do. We had so much fun garage saling and I so appreciated her help to clean the house out in Swanton when Don got burned and could not help! She was indeed a treasured friend and I regret I did not know how sick she was. She had such stress with Sherry's long disability and then with Bob's extended illness. May God give her peace at last!
