We’re saddened by your great loss – she was a wonderful woman. I’m grateful for the visit we had a few months ago and regret we did not make it back again. Her attention to detail in her genealogical work is an inspiration to me and I will continue to think of her and her work often in the coming years. God Bless you all. Terry & Victoria
