Bonnie, Mike & Susie,

We were so sorry to hear about your Mother's passing. She was more than just my Mom's first cousin. She was an Aunt to me. We enjoyed her many visits to our home in Illinois. My mom and your mom could talk for hours. I can still hear them talking away in their room as they got ready for sleep Growing up, our summer trips to Cowans Gap was the highlight each summer. She made every trip fun.

She was a great person and friend to all. We will never forget her.
