Dear Wendy and Robin…it’s been such a long time. I thought lovingly of your parents quite often when I remember our boating days when Robin and I were teenagers. I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember coming to the house way out in the country (or to me when I was little, it seemed like way out) and swimming in the pool and just eating and visiting with all of you. And also our trip to Niagara Falls.
Your mom called my mom a couple of months ago, and my mom was very happy to hear from her. I’m glad they got to talk.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. I would love to get together sometime….
Love,
Debbie
Rod, Makala and family
