    Ed, Wayne, Bonnie and Jamie,
    Want you to know that Mom was just telling me some stories about Virginia and her back in high school days, boy did they have some good times. Thank God for the memories. Mom wanted to tell you all how sorry she was to hear about her passing. Sue writing for Darlene.
