I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom and Grandma, even though she was up in years. I have many good memories of times & visits at Uncle Leonard and Aunt Cleo's, from an early age at their ranch through adulthood in town. I hope YOU have many good memories and "remember whens", as well, as you visit w/ family and friends during this time. May God be especially close to you now. In Christ, Beryl (Addison) Geer

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time Kathleen, Lenny and families. I remember when we were kids our parents really enjoyed playing cards with each other. Now nearly all of their generation has passed on and they are greatly missed but we have lots of good memories. God Bless. Etta
