We are so sorry to hear about Aunt Jane--we so were looking forward to a visit with her this summer. She was a wonderful woman and like a mom to me when Kimm and I were in Mt Pleasant. So many good memories growing up and visiting Paw Paw and Canada too! I can still hear ole' Uncle Bill telling Mike to sweep the porch and me to straighten the rug and close the cupboard. And the card games--"Poop on your Neighbor" those 2 playing cribbage every day--and who could forget Mark and Lorna knocking down the X-mas tree one year and neither one would admit it! I have been negligent in keeping in contact with Kimm so if someone would give her my Email or give me hers, I would love to get in touch with her--also I don't have Lorna and Tom's address? Hope Donna is recuperating--Mike and I are are looking forward to a trip to Vegas with you guys and Aunt Doone! Again--our deepest sympathy to all of you--she's up there with the 2 Bill's, Betty and Myrnie having a grand time and happy hour every day! Wih love Andy Sugnet

Kimm: Sorry to hear about you Mom. A good friend once told me that the memories of a loved one will help to ease the pain of your loss. I thought he was nuts at the time, but that thought has helped me through the loss of my Mom and Dad. Hope the thought helps you.
