In Loving Memory
Dear Bill, Barry, Bryan, and Bill, I am so sorry to hear of Marion's passing. The world is a mysterious place - I had a dream that I drove past your house last night and thought of many fond times of hanging around your kitchen table telling stories. It was nice to hear about her bowling league too - you might not remember that she came to my 8th or 9th birthday party to teach everyone how to bowl. She was always so kind, a bit mischievous and a great card player. I hope you are all well and wish you peace in the coming days and months. I'm also sorry to hear about Brad's passing too. Sending you hugs from across the country. - Jess Lux

Dear Blackett family: I am sorry to read of your mom's passing; I went to school with her, all 12 years. She was a great class mate and I have fond memories of her. In those days we were all friends an d were all close. My dad's uncle Stewart was married to your moms sister. I often wondered about her. God bless you . Les Seely
