Hi Dennis and Family,
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. This point in time makes it doubly hard to endure the pain and grief I’m sure. We wish you and your family only the very best as you think of the good times with your mom and how she impacted so many young children at Minges Brook.
Our sympathies extend to you and your extended family.
Sincerely,
Your old classmates, Sue Friedlund-Flees and Bob Flees
