You will be dearly missed; however we understand your need to move on after 98 years. Thank you for your love and kindness of my 68 years. For health reasons I cannot make the trip to Michigan, and I know you completely understand. It would have been a pleasure to have known you before your 25 years in the convent with that captivated strong will of yours. Many of us in our clan have that same relentless strength of mind. Give all my love to all when you join them in everlasting peace.
