Dear Family,
I met Anna Mae in1947 when we both worked at Illinois Bell. We began to double date when I introduced her to her future husband Jim, who was the cousin of my then boyfriend, Ed, who I later married. They had recently been discharged from the Army, and were making up for lost time, and we went out often. Jim had an old car and we had to stop often to rewire the right front door that would come loose periodically. This certainly did not interfere with our fun together, as we married and then raised our families concurrently. It’s hard to believe it all started 64 years ago. We loved Anna Mae and are sure, that after a long and busy life, she has found peace in the hands of our Lord.
