Scott and Kim,
We are so sorry to hear of your mother’s death. I don’t know if I told you this story, but when the kids were small we took went on the Dells boat trips and water and amusement park. We stopped for gas on the way home and didn’t have cash. The cashier told me that they didn’t take credit cards and we had already filled the tank. I asked if she could take a check, since that was the only option for payment. I told her we were from out of state. She asked if we knew anyone in the area, and I told her that we were staying with my brother, Jim Summerton. She said she knew him, and introduced herself. I didn’t remember her from the grocery store, but of course I knew who she was. She took my check and we laughed about what a small world it was. How much you and the grandkids and the rest of the family will miss her. Please accept our condolences.
Don and Sue Summerton Gamble
