Coleen, Leslie, and Randy
I want to extend our sympathy to you all for the loss of your mother. We have lost track of each other over all these years as so often happens. I know my mother was close to your mother as well as to Dorine and there are photos of them together over the years. I can certainly see the Laug side in your mother's photo. All our best wishes to you at this sad time and going forward. Linda Hothan Gunn [email protected]
