Dear Pete and Glen I am so sorry to hear of Tras passing. So many great memories. Just sitting at the kitchen table and having coffee with her was a joy. Always full of happiness and smiles. Now onto a better place. My Love and Prayers are with all of you. R.I.P. Aunt Tra! Wish I could be with you at this time but my heart is.

Aunt Tra was so much fun, even in the nursing home. She got so excited when Joe and I visited her, always remembering everyone. When we took her to see my mother and Joe offered her assistance she said, "What do you think I am, an old lady". She was only in her late nineties. To her immediate and extended family, I am so sorry for our loss! Mary
