Dear Nana I love baking with you. You are the best Nana I cod ask for. Love Katy.62 is not vary old.
Sue and I went to 12 years of school together (8 yrs. in New Haven, 3 yrs. in Stacyville and 1 yr. in Osage). Through the years I have asked around trying to find out where she was living so that she could come back for our class reunions. I didn’t realize until today that one of my brothers was in contact with Dave and that is how I found out about her death. I would have loved to see her again! We shared so many experiences in those 12 years. Your family has my deepest sympathy.
