    Margie and Tracy and families I was so sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have many happy memories of both your Mom and Dad from when they lived in Deloraine.

    One of my fondest memories of your Mom are from my highschool prom many years ago. Your Mom was all excited to help me get dressed and couldn’t wait to curl my long straight hair. Needless to say the curlers got tangled in my hair and we had to cut them out of my hair before the big event.

    I was of course in tears as was your Mom. The standing joke for years after when I saw your Mom was “here Donna, let me curl your hair for you”. Your Mom always had a twinkle in her eye and was quick to laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time.

    We were very sad to here of Betty’s passing, Betty was our father’s and husband’s cousin, and though we did not see her too much, we always knew of her and her family. She was part of our Cartwright connection which will always be special to us.
    Our condolences go out to Joe and Betty’s family
