Our deepest sympathies to Freda and the family on the loss of your Mother. We have so many good memories of Uncle Bill and Aunt Ida from their visits here or trips to KFC. We will remember Ida.

Pat, Freda, Hazel, Larry, Peter and families, our sympathy on the passing of Aunt Mae. I can recall the many stories that Mom, Uncle Gary and Grandma would tell of the escapades that they Aunt Mae and Uncle Tom would get up to with them. I'm sure you have lots of fond memories to look back on. It's been a long time I can still see your Mom, Aunt Dorothy and Grandma sitting around at the huge family gatherings catching up.
