We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
So sorry to hear of Connie’s passing. Somehow I missed Delores’s passing, was so sorry about that too when I learned of it. I will miss them both, they were always so good to keep in touch with us on Facebook. Lowell too. We missed news of Lowell’s passing – I think Mom heard of it, but was getting very forgetful at the time. She passed in 2017. Miss them all! Aunt Claudine is very forgetful but is still at home with assistance. Is she the only one currently surviving of the Duchene cousins? Miss Aunt Sadie and all her dear family!❤️❤️❤️
