Jill, Jack and Miriam and Bill:

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and sister Laura. I am very glad that I got to meet with her and share some family history information. I was also able to scan and copy some of the old family photographs. Cousin Laura really seemed to enjoy her apartment and had a wonderful sense of humor.

Laura was a very sweet and nice person. I also remember meeting Anna when I was a child and her children. (I would like to contact Barbara and Jill if possible). My email address is scaul@yahoo.com.

I remember my mom (Helen Foernsler Sloden) always speaking well of Laura and they enjoyed each others company. My sincere condolences on your loss.

Sincerely,
Sandra Sloden Cauler (Helen Foernsler Sloden’s daughter)
