we met your mom at her rummage sale as she was preparing to move closer to her children. she had a Frankenhilf book there & I asked who was from Richville? we enjoyed visiting with her that day about all the people we had in common. we had stayed at Whispering WInds before your parents owned it & her Handy man, Bruce Buchinger is my first cousin. we couldn't get over this Godwink. We discussed our church & hers. She left us with such a warm feeling, absolutely one of my favorite things that happened this summer. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. extending our sincere condolences to you & your families. Jay & Linda Trombley Reese MI
