Dear Michael and Sandy - you may not remember me, but my parents (Glenn and Leona Edmunds) were very good friends of your parents. I have great memories of visiting your home and family. Even after we lost my Mom, your mother and father welcomed us whenever we were in Colorado Springs. May your memories be held close to comfort you.
