Grieving the loss of Aunt Joyce. She & Uncle Don were unfailingly hospitable when "the city cousins" visited their farm every summer. We always had such a good time with Becky, Nancy and Tim. When my folks retired, they really enjoyed traveling with Aunt Joyce & Uncle Don. Much love and sympathy to all of you from Arizona. Cassidy sends condolences from Spain. OXOX
