Mariann and Jeanne I am so sorry about your Mother, my condolences to you both. I remember her fondly with her great baking and the costumes she made for Halloween. I would like to connect with you both again if you would please email me.
Mariann and Jeanne - we were both sorry to hear about your Mom and wish to pass on our condolences. Only last week I was thinking about Velma and wondered if she was still in the nursing home in Cochrane. We always seemed to have a good laugh when I would pick her up to attend the Opti-Mrs. meetings and go to their luncheons. She was a lot of fun! Sincerely, Carolyn & Clarence Christensen
