    To Gary, Mary Ann, Marlene, and Marilyn,
    You guys are in Eva and my thoughts and prayers in the loss of your mom. I have fond memories of good times at the Whitestown skating rink with you all, as well as spending time with everybody at your mom and dad’s house on Kissell Road. Your mom was my FAVORITE teacher in high school, and your dad gave me my first auto loan when I had no credit. They were good people and were instrumental in shaping my life. I am truly grateful for your parents, and you guys. Oh, the memories!
