    Blessings and peace to you, Ron, Curtis, and Cheryl. I always loved and respected your mom for so many reasons. Sometimes I wish she lived closer so I could get even closer to her and all of you. My greatest remembrances are the pool in your backyard, playing cards, and family picnics at the farm house. Will keep all of you in my prayers.
