Dear Debbie and Jennie, What great memories I have of your mom, her great laugh and smile. I always loved hearing her play the piano in our living room on Kalamazoo Ave growing up. I’m sorry I have not seen her in many years, but I kept up on news of her because of you both. Love to you both. If ever you get to Texas please, let’s get together.
Love One of Many Cousins. Ken
