Virgil and Lynn, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a spouse, mother, and grandmother. I remember Kaye well. My mom speaks of her and you, Virgil, often in her journals I am typing now. In fact, I was typing your names the day I read Kaye's obituary, saying that you had visited my mom and dad. She was a very good friend to my mother and a very sweet and thoughtful person.

Vergil,
So sorry for your loss. I'm sure you miss those times at Mt. Timp Village. I sure like having a condo there. But most of all you miss your Sweetheart. Can't tell you how sorry I am. I sure do understand, because I lost mine 6 years ago. Keep the faith and know she is in a better place, which doesn't keep you from being loney or missing her. Call 801-426-5922 or e-mail me mdgrit@q.com if you need or want to talk. Mary
