Dale & Magdalena:

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I remember when working with you how many times you had to rush to her side. You were always helping her. She certainly lived a long life. Hope all is well with you and Magdalena. I finally retired last fall. My best to you both! You have to be pretty busy with those grandchildren!

Take care. Jan Sipola
