Condolences to Dave, Duane, and Ron:
Your Mom was a wonderful individual. Growing up next door and being part of your family for over 20 years was a great childhood experience. I always made it a point to see her on my visits back to Shelby. It’s saddened me that she spent her golden years confined to a care center. It’s comforting to know that she will now be with Bus and Randy.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Linda

Dave, Duane and Ron,
You have our sympathy. It is so hard to see the screen through the tears. But I also sit here with a smile remembering all the times our families were together. Your Mom and mine were more like sisters than cousins. I always enjoyed talking with both of your parents. Please know that you all will be in my thoughts tomorrow.
Love to all,
Cindy
