Hello Davalos Family-



My deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of your beloved mother Mary. I don't know if you remember me or not, but I am Diana Carter's daughter Lindy (used to be Hiatt). Mom told me what happened and asked if I would please let you know that we all remember Mary and what a special lady she was. Mom and her husband Les Carter,Jr. now live in Kentwood, Louisiana, where they have retired. I live in Wheaton, Illinois with my husband Bob Greenlee and our two kids, Lori and Adam. We would love to hear from you sometime, especially Gloria and Chris whom I remember so well from KleenTowne Days. Again our deepest sympathies to all of you.

To the family of Mary Davalos:

My sympathy to all of you. I especially remember Mary and Sara at our Cub Scout meetings at St. Anthony's. Mary always had a smile on her face and was willing to do whatever was necessary to complete a task. I keep you all in my prayers. Edna Frigo
