Lindsay and family,

I somehow missed the obituary in the Courier or I would have most certainly gone to the funeral home. I am so sorry for your loss. After my husband passed away in December of 2008 I moved back to Dubois. I live up on Coke Hill and often drove past your old home. I often wondered about your parents. Then one day I ran into them at Eat N' Park. I had a lovely conversation with both and remarked later to my Dad how well they both looked. I am so gald I had the chance to see your mother once more. I will keep you, your Dad, and sister in my prayers.
Sometime when you are back in DuBois give me a call. I am in the phone book.

All my Sympathy
