Radi and Diane - So very sorry we missed your Mom's Wake. Kurt told me about your loss. When I think of your Mom I remember, fondly, of when you and Kurt were settling in to room together at Northern. We were all helping the best we could. Those were the days!!!

Love to you and your family. Marlene & Chuck Legac
