Merle and family, Jane and I go way back, as you know. I will always remember the Burg days of growing up and spending time at the Armstrongs’. And, then of course, our days at good old TC where we shared the 1953 graduating class. I will never forget her as she was a part of my early life. My condolences also to Jeanie. Our prayers are with you all.
Mary Ann (Stewart) & Bob
