  2. Dear Kathy and family, I am so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. I have thought of her many times over the years. She was like a second mom to me.

In Christ’s Love, Mary-Margaret Smith

  4. Dear Kane Family, Peggy and I used to play tennis together–both inside and outdoors. (She played an amazing net!) She was a wonderful person, so warm and thoughtful. Later, I always looked forward to seeing her cheerful presence when she volunteered at our polling place during elections. My love and condolences, Wendy Higginbotham
