Dear Al and Louise, I remember your Mom being one of my girl scout leaders and our trips to French Creek park to camp. What a fun and happy time we had. And our meetings at the community house in Trevose. Her personality and winning smile were hard to forget. Didn't know your brother, Ernest, but my sincere sympathy and prayers to all the family.
