Hi Uncle Fred and families, I have thought of you all very much in the past weeks. It is so hard to believe that Aunt Marie won't be here anymore. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend the funeral. My thoughts were continually with you through the day. In fact, I did hear a small part of it, b/c Doug dialed my phone number during one of the songs so I could hear it. Around the time that I was in 4th grade, I decided that Aunt Marie and I were going to exchange letters, so I wrote her a letter. She promptly wrote me back! We wrote back and forth for about a year. I remember the anticipation that I felt every time I checked the mailbox, starting about 2 days after I had mailed my letter to her. I still have all of those letters. What a good sport she was for taking the time to do that with me! Love, Janelle
