I am so sorry to have missed the visitation, where I could see you and express the sadness and also the joys among us. I did not get the information until too late to attend. Just last week, Frank told me about the day that he, Jim, and some McNeils all got on the horse (I forgot the horse’s name) at once, rode in the corral, and gradually fell off laughingh! We had good times together. I thought so much for both your parents, and are sad at their passing. I guess iit is both their time to depart. I would have loved to see you again. Sincerely, Ann Trimble Henning
