Kathy and Tim,
I was so saddened by the passing of my Auntie Wanda and your wonderful mother. I was hoping to be able to attend, but just wasn't able to work it out. My mother in-law has been coping with a host of medical issues in Morgantown, WV and we've spent the better part of the summer running back and forth.
Reading the obit, I noticed your kids are spread out all over. Hope they were able to get back for the funeral. I know how devoted Aunt Wanda was to them all. How time flies, we're slowly but surely becoming the elders in the family. Hope we can handle things as well as our parents have.
There are so many things that have run through my mind the last few days. The sing a-longs at midnight as the tv stations went off the air, the laughter, the Christmas parties and so much more. They're painful memories right now, but I know as time goes on, they become so much more. I find some comfort in knowing the old pipeliners, Vern and Pete, are back again with there wonderful wives. Bless you all.
