You have my symathy on the lost of your husband. I was in the bank in Hoffman today and your sister-in-law, told me about it. I don't know if you remember me. I was Nancy Puchalski. My dad and Donalds mother were brother and sister. We use to get together on Holidays at at Barrett or the farm just out of town. I lost my husband about 1 1/2 years ago. Hi was related to Donna, Arnold wife. Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and praying for you. Nancy Waugh
