Dear Ruth and Family
I was so sorry to read about Mike's passing.I don't know if you remember me. I am Mike's cousin Zeilla May Jester. I won't be able to attend the funeral because I have pneumonia. Also, his cousin Hazel Weixeldorfer is in the hospital with a cracked tailbone. She sends her condolences too. I pray God will give you peace and comfort.
