Nancy, Janice, and Danny:
I read about your Mom in the paper. I was so sorry for all of you to lose her. She was my best friend even tho I hadn't seen her in a very long time. We kept in touch by telephone an we did that for years. One of the best things your Mother did for me, She taught me to drive then took me to get my license. I think I was 18 or 19. I am 95 I was from August to February older than your Mom. I gave up driving when I was 93 so of course I will not get out for any of the services. If I could have been able to come I could have told you lots of the good times Wally my husband and I had with your Mom and Dad and other couples.
Again I am so sorry and hope you all remember who I am.
Love and Prayers,
Margaret Forbes Reed
