    To Mike, Karen & Mary Beth…

    What A Lovely Woman You Had To Call Mother. I Did Not Know Of Her Passing Until Now. On A Fpc Fellowship Trip Many Years Ago, I Was Struck By Your Mom’S Good Cheer And Youthful Demeanor. She Was Right In The Center Of Activity With Humor And Help For All.

    Wishing You All The Best!
