Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Nancy, my mother (Opal Crow) sent the obituary of your mother to me from the Wichita paper. My….she had a very long life! My mother just turned 89, is living in an independent living apt. in Colorado Springs near my brother, and doing quite well. I live in Ft. Myers, FL. and just retired from teaching elementary music for 35 years. Pat (Mellor) Potts and I email back and forth, and we also correspond with Marcy Alexander by email every so often. Marcy is in Calif. doing art work and has recently married! I plan on going to East HS 50th reunion in Aug. 2008. Am hoping to see some of you there…… My email address is: jrobcrow@earthlink.net in case you’d like to correspond sometimes. Judy (Crow) White
