We are thinking of all of you. We have very fond memories of Aunt June and Uncle Roy so they will always be in our hearts. Love and Sympathy to all of you. We have many fond memories. The one that sticks in my mind, after all of these years, is when we lived in Fremont they would fly into Omaha. We would pick them up at they airport and they would stay overnight at our house. The next morning Naomi would pick them up at our house and eventually they would get to Tilden, Clearwater and then back to our house where they would stay overnight and we would take them back to the airport in the early morning. After a couple of years of that, and by the way, between our 2 families we did this for more than just Roy and June, anyway, about the last time we did this, at Christmas time after the two of them had flown home we got a Christmas card from them and it was addressed to “Anderson Motel & Taxi Service”. We really had a lot of laughs and a good time over that one. Again love to all and we are thinking of all of you. See you July, 2005.
We extend our condolences to Don, Marg, Barb and families, and Lawrence. We will miss Aunt June. Much love to all. Al & Dorothy
I will miss you
WE WILL MISS AUNT JUNE, BUT KNOW THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR HER.
