Betty Mc, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister, Val.  When you lose so many so close together, that is really a hard one to bear--but I know with your  faith and God's help you will make it  thru!  I have had you on my mind for the last week ( guess that is why I wanted Bob's orbit)--just thinking of you!  We have been missing you on the list.  Just know our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Glenna Goodwin ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Betty McCollum <betmac@centurytel.net> To: arizard@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, December 8, 2010 6:04:31 PM Subject: Re: [ARIZARD] Betty Mc's brother Vera:     Thanks for putting this on the Izard website.  We lost our sister Val Blum (mentioned in Bob's obit) this past Suunday.  This has been a "rough" summer; I have lost a brother, a sister, and 3 first cousins.
