Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you. Love, Adeana Marshall Stosich Greg Womack gywomack@excite.com I became acquainted with Mrs. Forman nearly half-century ago while attending New Sweden school as well as the Episcopal church scouting program through her son Dan. As I remember, she was a caring and concerned mother like any son should cherish! My condolences go out to Dan as well as the rest of the family. Sincerely, Greg Womack Louis (Kay) Schwarzman lkscol1@msn.com It's been so long since we've been to I.F. and visited with our relatives and friends that I'm not so sure we could find our way in the city. Bob Schwarzman sent us Marie's obituary and even though I only met her once on the occasion of Uncle Dewey's death and funeral,she made Ruth and I feel at home and welcome. She must have been a wonderful lady and certainly will be missed by all her survivors and friends. May our Lord, Jesus Christ welcome her with open arms and may He also bless each and every one of whom remains behind. Sincerely; Louis K. & Ruth Schwarzman 7218 Allens Park Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80922 Carolyn DeVaney Mdevaney@homenetnw.net I am so sorry about Marie, but she lived a long life, and my memories of her and Uncle Dewey are good ones. I would like to get back in contact with my cousins . . . Jean and Dorothy and Duane. Maybe someone will pick up on my e mail address. I tried to get hold of Jean after Pat's death, but could not find the right Bingham. Thanks, Carolyn
