  9. Linda and Terry, I am saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing but know you got to spend some time with her recently and for that be thankful. She’ll be awaiting you on the other side all sunshine just as she looks in that wonderful picture!

  15. I hope Terry is okay, Linda. Ethel and I know about loss. My mother, Mary Helen Davis, is the last of either of our parents living. Going through such times is always tough and deserve some prayers. I’ll ask my Mom if she knows Marjorie Jean Brown. I suspect she does. If you are from Delta and Western Colorado in general and are old time residents, there is probably some connection to the Davis’s. I know my family liked and respected your family from what my mother says. She said they are good salt of the earth folks. Take care, both of you, during the grieving time. I know that Ethel and I after Kevin’s death lost some of the good health we had up to that point. Please be well.

  20. Linda, thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. It is so heartbreaking to say goodbye to a parent. I still feel myself wanting to pick up the phone and call my mother. Hugs my friend.
