“Hello Trudy .... We were so sorry to hear that your mother had passed away. My sister Barbara (Galbraith) Knight., and I did not see the obituary in the newspaper until after the funeral. Mother, JoAnn (Galbraith / Bromley) Corderman is having her 89th Birthday next week so we are really appreciating the time we have left with her. She is still at an independent living apartment at Oak Terrace in Sac City. However she is very weak and requires a lot of assistance. Take care of yourself ... we think of you often!”
