John, Bonnie, Danny, Susie and Julie,
We are sorry to hear of Aunt Louie’s passing. I have many fond memories of your mom on Buffalo St., Harlo’s farm and other Family gatherings. I will always remember my one on one talks with your mom. It always seemed to bring some laughter to the conversation. We are sorry we are unable to attend as we are in Florida but know we are in your thoughts and prayers. All our Best Wishes to you and your Families!
