"To the Bormann's, thoughts and prayers from Sara and I. So many great memories of this family. Funny but was "driving through" Whittemore the other day on Google Maps and came upon the yellow house and paused there for a bit. Maybe not coincidental that I received this news today. Just had to smile. What a great place to grow up in. Thanks, Jerry and Norma, for everything."
