    We are so sorry for your loss, Steve, Patty, David and John. And also Carty for the loss of her sister. We will miss our visits to Kansas City and casino jaunts with Donna and Patty. We had such fun – plus they were great tour guides. Losing a parent is so painful but you have such wonderful memories of your mom, as do we. She was a great lady!!
    Love to you all, Dave and Estelene Ladd
