Danny and Holly, I have moved to S. Idaho but still get the Shoshone NewsPress. As I read of your mother's life I was so touched and memories flooded my mind of how wonderful your parents were to those of us at Kellogg High School. Your dad and mom knew I loved ship memorabilia and I still have a little ships brass cannon that your dad made & was given to me. I proudly display it in my office to this day. Every time I look at it I think of the life and character of your mother and father. They have left a wonderful legacy! I am honored and proud to have known them & to have worked side-by-side with such wonderful, loving and unselfish people. May God bless you and feel your hearts with His peace that passes understanding. With love, -- Ralph Lowe
Just wanted to send my sympathy to Holly and the rest of the family! -- Mary Nelson (Bohannon)
