My heart and prayers go out to your family at the loss of your Mom, Connie, and to all the rest of the family. She was always such a loving, happy person. I have many memories of our family's adventures with Connie and Larry. We had a fort built in our back yard for a few days which most of us worked to erect. It was our "get-a-way" for a short time.
During one of the heavy snows we received when I was young, I remember sitting in a huge drift on the edge of your driveway. There were also many parties we attended at one time or another. I still have pictures as proof.
Connie, thanks for helping dress me with your beautiful "handmedowns". I still remember some of the prints.
Your folks and ours were such good friends for so many years. The farm near Polk City was a beautiful place. That's where I saw my first square nail when they tore down an old building.
Occassionally I get back to Ankeny and always drive through Southlawn Drive and then Logan Street where we last lived.
Keep the memories going and share your's with family to be passed on.
Kathleen
