Our deepest and sincere sympathy to Mary, Dave, and family. Lenora was a wonderful person and we are glad that we had the chance to visit with her on our last trip to Minnesota. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May God bless you all.

Mom we miss you already. I know that you told us not to be sad. But we must disobey you one more time as we are sad. You were a wonderful mother to all of us and always took care of us in your own special way. Miss you and love you,
Mary
