Dear Terry and Gary:
Greetings, and my condolences to you at the loss of your father, mother, and brother. During the summer of 2013 I was in Cedar Rapids, IA hoping to see your parents when I Iearned of your father's death. I visited his grave and met a niece working the office at the cemetery. Your mother had already moved to St. Louis Park, so I missed visiting with her. Your father was very instrumental in my growing up years and the Neilson and Gemilere families enjoyed a good friendship in your California years. My mother and yours seemed to be able to keep the friendship going by telephone in recent years and had spoken with each other sometime in the Fall of 2014. I have been meaning to find her to tell her of my mother's death last December 11, 2014. Now I have found her obituary, so perhaps they are in heaven together both knowing of each other's journey. I wish you well in your days of this new chapter of life without your parents' presence in it. The Gemilere family will always have a place in my heart. Blessings, Karen (Neilson) Schwartz
