My thoughts and prayers are with you ... I'm thinking of all of you (Lois, Jill, Jim, John and rest of family) at this very difficult time. I have such fond and loving memories of the Pelosky family and all the good times at Fort Meade and Denton. You all have a special place in my heart. Take Care and know I am thinking of you. Love, Karen
