We are sorry that we couldn't make it down for visitation or the Funeral. We had a scare the other day, Evelyn had chest pains and ended up in the hospital for a day. Then we couldn't get down last night due to getting ready for a stress test she had to do today.

We have been thinking of all the good times at 2000 and at other AMVETS events that we all shared with Sandy.
