Charlene Fowler Lew , Mindy,Ken and Jill,
Well what can I say, I have known your Mom and your wifefor over 50 years and she was a big part of my life. Her name for me was Modda and Lews was Fodda. I will fondly remeber the days spent out at the cabin in Sooke those were such good days. That is just one of my memories that I will cherish,of course I have numerous but too many to mention. I know that you will all cherish lots of memories that you have of your wife and mom, hopefully these will help you all through the most difficult of time. All my love and prayers are with you. Just wish I was closer to help you all.
Love Charlene Fowler
