My sympathies to Arlene and family. It was a shock to hear Mouse passed away. I always enjoyed being around Mouse and it was really fun to see all the pictures! Those Vogt boys were sure good looking, weren’t they? Mouse always had a smile on his face. So good to see all the hugs and kisses for Arlene. I’m sure you will feel his absence keenly, but may all the good memories you have of him bring you comfort in the days ahead.
