I'm sorry it has taken me so long to send our sincerest condolences. I just got the contact information today. My son Colin gave me the news. The thoughts of the McConkey families are with you all at this sad time.
Carla,
Thinking of you so very much. Both Kurt and I treasured our friendship with both of you. I know you have lots of good memories to cherish and I know how comforting you will find those memories.
