When we would go stay with our Grandma Arlene in the summers, we would go out to Lea & Otto's farm to visit. I remember great aunt Lea so well, she was always so sweet to my sister and I and always told me how much I looked like the "Bucks". She will be greatly missed, but I know her and Otto are reunited and at peace.

Dear Carey, I was very sorry to hear recently of the loss of your Mom, as well as your Dad 2 years ago. Since we were your "next door neighbors, I, of course, remember them both very well, especially all the visits, picnics, and fishing forays. My deepest condolences to you and your family. May the passage of time lessen your grief and bring you peace and consolation. Lynn
