    Dear Carol and family,

    I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. We were out of town and couldn’t be at the wake or funeral. I have my daughter and her four boys(twins under two)here this week visiting. I remember 4H at your mom’s house and what a sweet person she was. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

    Love, Rod & Jo Chapla
