Messages of Sympathy
Sincere condolences from our family. I remember well coming to see Letha and Charlie when I was small- my mother Janet , considered them very good friends. I knew Aunt Glenna best of the Pansing girls, but I also remember the close friends they all were. I somehow remember buying a bushel of NY apples from your dad at some point; I think he was a wheeler/dealer!!I know you have many happy memories.

Fred,
I would like to express my sympathy on your father's death. I remember him driving us to baseball games and practices when we were at Our Lady of Mercy and he helped coach. Look forward to seeing you at the next reunion.
T.H.
