To Lucy and her family,
You know how much I care for you and your mother. I was thinking back on some special times that we shared. Remember when we went over to the house and was cleaning the walls and your mom and dad teased us that we had missed a spot all well they sit their and smoked there cigarettes and drink their quarts of beer. And when we went to bingo together. You guys were so fast and quick I remember her dobbing my paper as I could not keep up. I also remember you two coming out watching movies at my house what fun we had! I especially enjoyed talking to Virginia about the Cubby's. I will pray for you all and just remember if you need anything I'm only a phone call away!

My heart goes out to all of you. I truely loved visisting with Ginger whenever I made it back to Des Moines. I have very early memories of her walking into Grandma Duncans home, seeing me, and her smile would light up the room, and her hugs where always the best. I never grew tired of those hugs, and will never forget those smiles. I hold them dear to my heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
