I was sorry to read of your mother's passing. My mother Louise Rickert worked at the drug store. Your father and I were on the local planning commission for a few years. Your parents were quite a asset to Albany. Again were sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's death. I have such fond memories of her.
Mom, who is now living with me in Indianapolis, also sends her prayers. As you know, she and your mom were very close friends. She was reminiscing about your mom yesterday, about all of the good times they had together.

Beck, Ernie, Lloyd, I'm really sorry for your loss. What a woman Ardy was! So smart, so funny, so alive. She challenged me on more than one occasion to see things differently, and I've never forgotten those lessons. I see the best of her in all of you. With all positive love vibes your way, Lorna
