We are on our winter vacation in Alabama and just heard of Mick's passing.
She served on Dick's board at Calvin Community and was a very valuable member. She and Dick became very good friends and of course Karen always referred to her as her "cousin" and always saw to it she was invited to all family gatherings.
We are so sorry for your loss. Please accept our sincere sympathy.
