I am so sorry we weren’t able to travel from Alaska to be with the family. All my love to Cindy, Uncle Jim, Scott and the rest of Aunt Alma’s family. I have such fond memories of spending the weekends with Aunt Alma and Uncle Jim as a child, and visiting with them when we could and when Shawn and I traveled back to Alaska. Her happiness and laughter continue on in my memories. My love to all.
