Hi cousins,
Sorry to hear about your mom. She (and your dad) was such a great support to our mom and dad after mom's stroke. And she never seemed to complain about anything when I saw her. I have some vaguer memories of picnics with the two families. The moms always took care of all the details, leaving all the fun to us kids. Amazing how we all lost touch through the years. Please add my email to your list--it would be nice to be in touch occasionally. I know that I always enjoyed reading the round robin, when I could. News of extended family still brought me pleasure.
Know that your mom was appreciated as an aunt who always took time to inquire about our activities.
Thinking of you in this time of sorrow. Love, Mary##imported-begin##Mary vanReken##imported-end##
