    Dear Cyndi, Jeff, and Steve, While your mother and I did not spend a lot of time together, it was always pleasant when we did. As health problems came to each of us, we visited less. Nevertheless, knowing that she lived next door was a welcome thought. She was a fine neighbor. Regretfully, I did not attend the memorial service for her as I had planned to do. Some of those encroaching health problems got in my way. I did have her and you, her family, in my thoughts as the memorial service was taking place, Peace be with her. With sympathy and best regards, Ocie
