dear, Judy. Her wonderful smile was there for everyone. We had a wonderful lunch and conversation on one of my visits to Mpls. Our enthusiasm as sales people was so similar...whether jewelry(in Judy's case) or Mil$ homes in my case....we bonded! She was wonderfully fun!!!

A Happy Birthday to you. I rarely think of my age..and am 1 yr older than you. I often compare myself to my Mom. Terrific example for me. She lived well for 99years. A good challenge everyday! Have a nice day! Fondly,Mary

Lowell was a good friend from Band. He played trumpet and a buddy of fellow trumpeter, Bob Ericksen. Lowell's Mom was a favorite substitute teacher. I knew Lowell at St Olaf College and later I met his beautiful daughter at St Mark Lutheran in Salem. May you RIP,Lowell.

Happy Birthday in advance, Janet. Seems too early to approach Dec. We're aging fast enough, right? I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family as we move toward the Holiday Season! Fondly, Mary

Sweet Karen was in band with me and played clarinet. She was kind and thoughtful to all. Karen had a friendly, welcoming smile to anyone she encountered. I can imagine she was a wonderful mom and volunteer in her community. The world needs more people with her spirit. May God bless her family at this very sad time.
