Mary, Edith, Ronald, Joan, Betty and the rest of the family: I am so sorry that I missed the visitation for your mother...I would have liked to have seen you all again and extended my condolences in person. Your mother was always so sweet and your family was such a part of my early years...those were happy days. My father lived to be 95 and it was still hard to part with him...so I'm sure you are all feeling that, too. Love to you all. Mavis Youngren HawkinsLake City, MN 04/05/2012 8:58 AM
