Karen, Just wanted you to know how grateful I am that you called Bill so that he could call the rest of the family spread out all over this Country. So many memories have been flooding in my head since I found out. All happy memories! If I could be there I would. The same goes for my Mother. Big hug to you! Please whisper in her ear that I love her and to hug my Nana when she sees her.
Elna was a very special friend to my mother Helen Grant. That friendship endured for over 70 years. Thank you, Elna!
Cousin Karen,
I am so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Cousin Susan
