Dear Mike & Elizabeth, Please accept our deepest sympathy during this time of sorrow for you and your families. I have such wonderful memories of living on her farm for several summers prior to the age of 10. I can't help but believe that God welcomed her with open arms. May God Bless your mother and your father. Sincerely, Tom & Linda Dean
