Eric, Ron and Steve:
Sad to hear of your mother's passing. We go back a long, long way. I have very fond memories of our first times in Des Moines, church and the relationship that Eric and I had for a very long time. Barbara Jo and I enjoyed very much our visit with your mom at the 100th anniversary of the church. We were amazed at how alert she was.
Sorry we cannot be present with you for the services. We will be in Cincinnati for the weekend on a visit with our youngest daugher Melinda and her two children.
In sympathy, Paul and Barbara Jo Spong
