Lenny, Bob, Sally and Bliss Emmett and I have just learned of Alberta’s passing. Please know that our thoughts are with you and your families at this difficult time. We have memories of our visit out to Wa when our families met and shared some good times. Alberta was a special lady. She and Marvin welcomed us to the family and we will never forget them.
