Connie and Don Derman, and June Thumma
Bob, Sam, Wally, and families……..
I am sorry to hear that your mother has passed on, but believe that she and my mom are chatting together somewhere above, both with their husbands again.
I have fond memories of your family and mine growing up together on Hostetter Drive. We could not have had any better neighbors than your family.
My thoughts are with you,
Sincerely,
MarySue (Rettew) Jones
