    Ardith’s family:
    I am so very sorry to read this.Ardith and I lived two houses apart, she on Waterloo and me on College. We became good friends and started playing marbles every day., either on the road or in her yard. We couldn’t wait for the next day to come.Both of our families were friends and my Dad, Reg Wigglesworth, along with Frannie Mouzar and Ardith’s Dad, Earl,rabbit hunted often, but some of the shenanigans,they got Earl into were too funny.Those were the days.
    I am also so very sorry that I can’t make the service. Have been in with a very bad cold for 2 1/2 weeks. I will miss seeing all the family!

    Condolences to you all.
