To Brenda and Mrs. Yusko,
I am keeping you in my prayers and sending hugs across the miles. I always felt welcomed in your home when Brenda & I were in Junior High and High School together in Streator. I am most grateful that our paths crossed along the way, and that I was able to spend a wee bit of time with your Dad and husband all those years ago. With sympathy and in friendship…Vicky (Yedinak) Dose, Colorado
