She was the pick of the litter and a very fine person.
She will be missed by all who knew her, which is a measure of the quality of person she was.
Love and best wishes to all.
Frank

Dear Dana There has been too many years between us but you are still a special friend. Your mother was such a very sweet lady who opened up her home to all your new college friends. I am sorry that I won’t be able to attend your moms service but my thoughts and prayers are for you and family. Sincerely Nancy. 405-919-2984
