    Dear Cousins,
    We were sorry to hear of your loss. You will miss your Mom.
    We remember Sharon and Sandra bringing Aunt Rhea to Mom and Aunt Willa’s birthday picnic in Granton a few years ago, and her smiles at seeing everyone.
    My childhood memories of Aunt Rhea were back on her home farm. She was stylish, vivacious, and good at organizing her kitchen!
    We will be thinking of your families, Sandra, Sharon, Don and Lyle, all through this difficult week.
    Love from Pat and Ron, Florida
