Randy Upright says:
Dear Guy and Page – we are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was such a good friend and wonderful golf partner for our mother Helen over so many years both before and after our fathers died. We found out just now by way of an old neighbor friend who shared the K-News obituary, otherwise Ashley would have been there for the service. Our hope is that your mother is in a better place and that you find peace and comfort in the days to come. Sincerely, Randy / Robin / Ron / Ashley and Nicole Upright
