Hi. Larry, Eva & Scott and families
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Blaine, I know he was ill for a while, but it never seemed to slow him down until the end. He was always doing something and so much enjoyed living life to the fullest, even when he had to take his oxygen. I know you will miss him greatly. When Mom talked to him he always talked about how you all were to him. I'm so glad I got to see him and all of you in 1999 when I came out there and that Mom was able to see him a couple of years ago. We wish Mom at least could have come out but there was no way to get her there, with spring break just starting and all. Mom was always filling me in on how everyone out there was doing hopefully we can still keep in some sort of touch.
Love Jackie
Mom said to tell you Hi and to keep in touch.
