Dear Kim, Ronnie, Patti Lynn, Joel and families, Uncle Danny and I were very sorry to hear about your Mother. We have many happy memories from when we all lived close to each other. Just wish we had made it up to see her over the years. I think what I’ll remember the most is her smile and how she she wore it so well…….Love to you all Uncle Danny and Aunt Ruth Ann
