We learned yesterday that Kathy's husband, Rex, died suddenly on Tuesday. Kathy is Aunt Rita (Mom's sister) and Uncle Ray's daughter. I don't think anyone could be around Rex for long without smiling or laughing and it is the joy he brought to our family that I will treasure always. We extend our deepest condolences to Kathy and her family at this time. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Lawrence, Donald R.
