Omaha, NE Monday, August 8, 2022 MelRae - I’m so very sorry to hear of your husband’s recent passing. My sincere condolences to you and your family.I don’t know if you remember me, but my family lived across the street (Hancock) from yours in Fremont. You were always so nice to me - - your family moved before we went to grade school, I think.
Again, so very sorry for your loss.
