I am just now reading the obituary of a friend from long ago. Louise & I became friends after we were both divorced back in the late 1970’s. I had been married to Jerry Robison. Eventually, I met and married my second husband, Ray Mahatha, and we moved to Tucson, Arizona. Ray died, and I married Frank Molina and I stayed in Tucson. Unfortunately, Louise & I lost touch with each other. Reading the obituary of her brother Wendell is how I discovered that Louise had already passed. I am truly sorry for all of the family.
