In Loving Memory
My Mom, June Larsen Weed was friends with Anna since high school, and they kept in touch all through the years. My Mom always spoke fondly of Anna, and will miss keeping in touch with her. ---Scott, I was supposed to send flowers for my Mom to the funeral, and I somehow mixed up my weeks and missed the date. I am so very sorry, as my Mom wanted to send her love to the family. Teddy
