“Dear Goebel family; I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I admired her greatly. She was such a nice person and an inspiration for me as an artist, I remember studying her portrait paintings in the school trying figure out her technique. Also Gerry and Steve, I remember fondly the times my brother Ron and I spent at your house playing games on your porch. I will always remember her with great affection. Larry Herron”
