Julie, I am so very sorry about your mothers death. I had lost track of her when my Christmas card
was returned. Finally located her about a month ago. Had a great visit with her and had every
intention of coming to see her. She sounded great, but things happen, and I am assuming age
had something to do with it. I would love being able to talk to you when you have some time to
spare. My number is 319-266-1484. I hope you will do me the favor and give me a call. I thought
a lot of your mom, and the Stewart family. I hope your mom didn't suffer. Hoping to hear from
you in the near future. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Kindest regards,
Evelyn Wohlwend
