We were so sorry to hear of Mary Alice’s death. You all are in our prayers and have our sympathy. She was such a “fun” lady and so with it!
We are in Florida for 3 months so were unable to attend her funeral.
This is for Marty – Cody is going for orientation for his first job. He is excited and scared. He loves you so much.
