Your father roomed with my dad for a brief time at St. Mary’s. So sorry to hear of your loss….Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
To Matsue and family:
So sorry to hear of Ambrose’s death. Give our love to your family. I remember Veronica coming to our home with Debbie, when they were in school. It seems like so long ago. May God be with you at this time. Our love and prayers, Bob & Betty Morrison, Rolla, MO
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. LeBeau’s passing. I just found out this weekend. He was a great neighbor and I enjoyed talking to him. I knew he was the same age as my father, as we talked about my father being at the veteran’s home in St. James, and he told me he was from St. James. I just realized though they shared the same birthday (including the year). I will miss him when I cut grass, especially this summer.
I envy you, Stina. I have to make the plans or else I’d go nuts, and we’d never know anything until the last mutnie.Because my husband owns his own business and is constantly facing new problems, he knows how to spin on his feet at the last mutnie. He’s okay with that, finds solutions and goes with the flow.I can’t do that!
