Faye, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother. I enjoyed many good times at the Bartley House with your Mom. Unfortunately, I am in Canada for two weeks and won't be able to attend the services.

Richard,It seems like yesterday we were hanging out at your house or riding around Kenosha in your old red Buick.Your Mom was a terrific person and I'll always remember her fondly. Time has gone by so fast and so much has changed since I saw you last - almost 40 years! My Dad passed away a year ago, but my Mom is doing well, and she sends her best to you and your family.When you can, drop me an email, and let's get in touch again.All my best,Don
