Dear Roger & family,
We were so sorry to hear about Marge. We remember all the good times we had in Florida with you folks, my dad (Bob Foster) and sometimes Gail & Ken Watson & others. Going out to LInger Lodge, the pontoon boat ride that got pretty rough with the high waves (Marge DID NOT like that). So we decided to go back to the Rod & Reel Pier. You folks had a lot of good times. Remember those.
You are in our thoughts & prayers.
Gail & Ron
