Dear Nigul Family, Our visits with Barbara and Alf were very special. Got some of Alf’s swedish pancakes. Will try making some. So glad we were able to take Mom, Barbara Owen Verble up to see some of our Canadian relatives. Have great pictures and memories. We are sharing sadness also with the loss of Mom on March 20, just 5 days after her 93 birthday. All our best. Maurine and Jim Falcone
