(Chris I'm adding the obit for her husband and sister here for your records! I'll see if they'll add it to his memorial, but it they don't you'll have it anyway. I never found one for Charles or the babies of John and Maude. I'm sure there is one for Maude, I thought I sent it to you when I was doing the Hays family, I'll have to look, sometimes I forget and just think I sent it. You can wipe this note off and do whatever with the obits, Sharla might want them on the family obits for the historical society page, I love her site!)
