Dear Susan and family,
You have my sympathy at this time of great loss to you all.
I’m not sure if you will remember me or not. I taught you, Susan, in fourth grade and was Sr. M. Rene at that time. I certainly remember you. I hope life has been good to you. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Renee Travis Reilly
Pete had Carmen design my wedding gown (1947). We had it on display on our 50th wedding anniversary.(1997) I still have it, however,it does not fit! After 63 years could it have shrunk?
