Dear Wayne and Anita. I never met your mother Wayne, but I am certain she was a very special lady. May your many fond memories sustain you during these days and the years ahead. Our parents are never far away from us, as new episodes in our lives bring back those old occasions, often with great pleasure. Love to both of you.

I have fond memories of your Mother and my time spent with you during the 1955 flood. I especially remember her Christmas Cookies and great dinners. Janetl and Wayne I just wanted to extend my sympathies and let you know that I remember the “good times” with your family.
