Alice, I just wanted to convey my sympathy to you and your family on the death of your mother. We had plans to go out of town otherwise I certainly would have come to see you and attended the service. When we were growing up and I would visit your home I was so impressed with your family. I certainly enjoyed both your parents. When I got married and returned to Beaver Dam I would run into them and always had a good time visiting and catching up. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. Take care of yourself.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
