So sorry to hear of Bob's passing away. He was dedicated to the union and the rights of others. He will be missed. Jenny Moree

Linda, how nice to hear from you. I think my mom kept forgetting to tell me "something" and it must have been because she had seen you. Yes, she was doing pretty good and then got the flu like many on the floor did. I am assuming that is what took her from us although I truly believe it was her time. I have so many memories of her that I will treasure and so sorry to hear of your father's death as well. Were you happy with his care there? Please feel free to contact me at home-I am listed in the phone book if you ever want to catch up. Lois V. from Kent Community was at my mom's funeral and it was nice to catch up with her. My mom loved working there. I wish you peace, hope and healing during these next months. LuAnn Arnson

My condolences (although belated) to the Fliearman family. Another strong union man has gone on. Do we have anymore coming up to take their places? I hope so. Denise Garn
