I immediately recognized that she was Jolyn's mother. I didn't have any way to come or I would have tried to be at the viewing. I now live in Salt Lake City as my husband passed away over a year ago and I have no family in Aberdeen where we used to live. I send my sincere condolences to both of you. It is not easy to lose a parent as both of you know. Love to all. Madge Pierce Little
