Please accept my deepest gratitude and appreciation for your response to my request for an obit. So many came to my aid and responded with her obit. Receiving this obit has helped my family so very much and answered many questions. This has knocked down so many walls that I kept running into. This is the kindest and most gracious group of researchers I have come upon in a major long time. Thank you to all. Julia
