    Dear Bea: I go online to read the Delphos Herold on a regular basis to stay in touch with old times. I’m really sorry to read of your mother’s passing. It has been a long time since high school and the years have gone way too fast. I miss living in Ohio and all the old times. Anyway, I will be thinking of you and your family and I will say a pray for you.

    My Deepest Smypathy,
    Patty
