Dear Libby and family,
So many years have past since 4-H! Oh such wonderful times! I remember your mom and all the hours she sacrificed so that we girls learned to sew and cook etc. Can’t remember if she was involved in the livestock but those sure were great times. You all remain in my thoughts and prayers
