Jo,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I think of you often and our trip to Az many years ago.  Your mother was very gracious to me.  Hold on to your happy memories.  Your friend, Kim (Robertson) Miller

To all of you.  Didn’t realize your mom was sick.  Dad and I missed it in the paper until I saw the weekly obituaries in Sundays paper.  We are so sorry for your loss.
