Julie and family,
Your mother touched me as such a kind, open woman when you invited me home for a visit to Clinton in 1978/79. I sat in your kitchen with her and I remember her making a brown loaf of the most yummy bread that came out of a big soup can!
That warm bread was served around a table of an equally fun kind loving and open family.
I feel for your loss.
Please accept my sympathies .
I will make a donation to the Epilepsy foundation in honor of your family.
