So sorry to hear about your loss. We have many fond memories of time spent with the Loveland family while living across the street from you in Kenmore. Tobe gave me (Patti) my first job working in the snack bar at the Lynnwood Albertsons. Prior to that, I spent many wonderful nights and days babysitting and watching all of you grow up. Jim and I plan on attending the service on Friday.
With heartfelt sympathy to the entire family!
