Rob and family, My sincere
Rob and family,
My sincere sympathies to you in your time of sorrow. Every 5 years or so, I'd catch up with Helen, when I'd call for a update in your address to send the class reunion invitation. We would converse like long lost friends. Your Mother was a very warm and caring person. One could pick up with her, like no time had ever elaspsed. Just know we thinking about you and your family. At the mention of your Mothers name in Wheaton, such fondness is recalled. We also hold Ron in our thoughts, that he may recover from his injuries. Perhaps its time for her to hold baby Dylan now and be with him. Life is fair.
Jackie (Lupkes) Strader
