Dear Rollie and family,
I just wanted to express my sincere sympathy for your great loss. I recently ran into two potholders Joan made for us recently, for 2 different Holidays many years ago, and I couldn't help but think of her and of all of you, and how much you must miss her. May you find peace in the great memories you all have. Blessings to all of you. Your neighbors, Sharon Ortiz, Chad and Jared Bilstein
