I cannot believe it’s been five years since your passing. A lot has happened since your passing including life getting back to normal after a pandemic. Love you and miss you very much. But we are grateful that you were spared COVID. I also cannot believe we will celebrate your 100th birthday in August.

Carol and family, Kent sent me the obituary. Your mom, I used to go over and see her when Kent was working. I just said hey to her and I complained to her about Kent. She would listen to me and comment. And who the heck was I? She was a part of my life in Chicago and I cherished her input. I brought my sister there and my daughter too. I loved everything about her. And Carol, remember the block parties? How cool was the mornings with dounuts and coffee? She was great.
