Hi ! Sorry I haven't written in awhile. Hope you're all fine. Just wanted to let you both know so you can tell persons
that my mother, Louise passed away yesterday, Sunday, April 14. She'd been very ill for the last couple of years but this
time it was to much for her heart. Funeral arrangements will be made today as we need to allow for all to be able to come
home. I know Mom enjoyed the Davis reunion and was excited about meeting her family. Take care and I'll get back to you soon.
Kathy
