"To the children of LeOrra and Dick, Although you do not know who I am I remember your folks very well. My parents along with Ivan and Leona Toyne kept company with your folks. My parents were Ed and Ethel Barry. As a young teen girl I remember when your folks were blessed with you Tommy and then came the girls. What joy filled your folk's heart. I married and moved away so hadn't seen your folks in many many years. I was so pleased to know that your Mom lived to be 100 years old. What a blessing for you all. i am sure she was thrilled with her grandbabies. She did love children so much. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy to each of you. May your memories bring you joy, may your faith bring you peace and comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Kathleen Ann Barry Marshall "
