To the family of Luella and Anna, it was so kind of you to visit with me and introduce me to Luella\’s children. I have many fun memories and when Luella, along with other friends, were in school together. Although we remained friends, we also grew apart but it was good to talk with her when we had the opportunity. Luella will be missed, mostly by you all, but also by her friends here in Plymouth.
