Going to share a memory that I have of your mother. In 1967-1968 when our daughter and I lived in Caldwell and Roger was in Southeast Asia your mom gave my folks a baby crib to use for our Gretchen. That was so wonderful of her to do that. Gretchen will be 51 years old on the 7th. Our prayers are with you. Remember all the great times you both had with your Mother. God bless
