I am a better person because of her generosity.
TO: SISTER GERI in memory of KATHY and her “MINNESOTA ACCENT”.
IT IS WITH GREAT SORROW I LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I ENJOYED THE SATURDAY MORNING VISITS TO MY ANTIQUE SHOP. YOU TWO GIRLS WERE VERY SPECIAL AND NOT KNOWING YOU HAD BOTH MOVED AWAY FROM PUEBLO, I TRIED MANY TIMES TO FIND A PHONE NUMBER OR ADDRESS IN THE NAME OF WISE, WITH NO AVAIL. Many years have passed since visiting with both of you. May the LORD OUR GOD keep Kathy in HIS LOVING CARE. GOD BLESS YOU GERI.
