"Dear Mike and Family, I was saddened to learn of your Mother passing away. I have known her for many many years. I will always remember coming to class late and trying tomake a quiet entrance. However, as I started to sit down Joyce moved my chair with her foot. I hit the edge of the chair sending it flying and sat down in the floor. So much for my quiet entrance. She thought that was really funny and it was: We laughed about that many times. She was a sweet person and will be missed greatly by her family and many friends. I am sorry illness kept us from services but our thoughts and prayers are with you. LOUIS AND DEBBIE LAYTON
