Dear Joan,
My mother recently sent me the sad news that your mother has passed away. I am very sorry. Mrs. Weddell always welcomed me and treated me with respect. I have so many fond memories of time spent in your childhood home. Hopefully, all of your wonderful memories will help sustain you during this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
Ruth Carrier (Castro)

Our families shared many wonderful weeks together in Branson Missouri and I will always cherish the memories of Bob & Betty and my parents having so much fun together. They are all in heaven together now and I can just picture them sitting around and laughing about those days. We were so blessed to have them all as long as we did. God bless the family in this sad time. May you find comfort in your memories and knowing that we all share your loss.

I met your mother and dad at the Nevada Craft Shows. I have 15 beautiful dolls, including the Shea doll. I absolutely loved your mom and dad and they will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
