Virginia and family Evangelin and family Virgil and family Mom just called and told me about your mother. I am really sorry and am thinking about all of you. Someone told my family when Gary died--"God is just like us when we pick flowers, he also picks them when they are at their best." Your mom had a long life and she was lucky to be in Bismarck near all of you. My mom is still alive at 85 and I dread the day the Lord takes her to be with him. Please know that you are in my prayers and I am sorry for the pain you feel. Mary Loven
