My neighbor, Don (don’t recall last name) gave me the news last night. I visited Amy for a short time last year and didn’t keep it touch, so the news was shocking. I remember how proud Chuck was when Jessica was born. Maybe it was because she looked more like Chuck than the other kids. 🙂 Jessica was so young, especially since Grandma Mabel R. seemed to live forever, until recently. My love to you all.
