Best E-mails of the Week 5/25/03
|
Pete,
I enjoyed the "Best
Emails" column for this past week with the great pictures of Auntie Rose's
birthday party. Having met her, Pam, Gerd, Fred, your mom and dad; I felt
as if I had been there to share in the fun!
I sent Auntie Rose an
email this a.m. with belated wishes. She is a treasure to your family.
Take care and we'll
call you and Mary soon,
Roxie
