Donna, Ronnie, Gary;I was saddened to hear about your MOM passing away. I was told about it by Jerry. I am sorry that we will not be able to make it for the funeral. I am hoping that possibly Darla and I can get to Kenosha for the picnic this year. It has been so long since we have seen all of you. I told Jerry that we always heard about things from there after they had happened, so this time he let me know right away about your MOM. Again I am sorry to hear about her passing, but at least now you know that she will suffer no more pain or sorrow. I will always be able to remember her the way she was when I saw her last. I am sorry that I didn't have time to let you know another way than this, but these things always come along so suddenly. Please accept our condolences and our apologies for not being able to be there. Dave and Darla Springer
