"Marge, I thought about you last week but failed to call you. I enjoyed our last phone visit and was anxious to see you in June and share some of your good cookies. You and Catherine were such good long time friends of mom and I know how special it will be to all be together again. Thanks for always having us over for little tea parties with ice cream sundaes and cookies, dear friend. God bless and our sympathy to all who loved and wil miss you, too. Rest In Peace! Val and Bob"
