Cathy Mikula lit a candle

“Jennifer and Brian, I was so sorry to see that your Mom had passed. Was calling her to make sure all of you were OK as I had read that tornadoes may have touched down close to where you live. Are you all OK? We had trees down, at the end of May, close to where I stay. Lots and lots of great times and memories with your Mom and Dad and their friends. May 15th is my birthday and I was 72 this year. Take care of yourselves and all of your kids. All the best. Cathy Mikula”
