Donna and Bob:
I met your parents when I was a little girl and was mightly impressed by just the sight of Midge sweeping into a room. And I’m so glad that even after they moved to CA and Mom died we kept up on a regular basis with phone calls.
No one else I know could hold a candle to Midge – she was the QUEEN of DRAMA in my book and all the K’s adored her. Just think of the big party going on up there with Sul, Al, Eileen and Midge. Al is giving you what for constantly and you’re loving it!
So glad that in our last phone conversation on Dec. 18, Midge and I ended it all giggling.
Love,
Carol
