Dear Nancy, Bud and Alice, I am so sad to hear of your mother's death. I know she was not well, but didn't have any idea we would lose her so soon. I loved her. She was so honest in what she had to say. There was goodness in her heart. So many people in the county do not know how much blood she donated to the hospital's walking blood bank. My mother and your mother both were asked to give blood years ago for someone going into emergency surgery. My mother was ill and could not give any more blood. So your mother and I went down to give blood. I barely gave enough before my blood just stopped flowing, but your mother gave a pint and told me she gave very often. I wonder how many lives she saved. The last time I saw her we talked about family, you kids and our grandparents. It was a lovely visit I will always miss her. My deepest regards to all of you and all of her immediate family. With love, Harvey
