Message: To the Cudworth Family,
I send my sincere sympathies to all of you. I have great memories of spending college weekends with Fred and Elle, going "home" with Faye to Sheyenne. Upon arrival, we always had delicious food; lively conversations; and many good laughs. May all of you, also, have wonderful memories of Elle to support you in this difficult time.
