Sincerely
Debbie and Barry
Very sorry to hear of your loss. It has been many years and have not forgotten you.
Thank You very much for your kind words. Yes it has been many years. I have not forgotten you either. I also remember your dog, car, and your parents whom were very nice to me and was always trying to give me something to eat. I have good days and bad days. I have my grandkids a lot which helps. I have discovered I do not like eating by myself. I hope life has been good to you. I know nothing about where you’ve been or where you are living now.
Take Care,
Patty
