Message: I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when we lived south of your farm. We would come to visit. I remember your Mom made hooked rugs. Mom and I would visit with her when she lived on the East side of Carrington. She was always a gracious hostess. Of all my aunts on my Dad's side of the family, Ione is the one I remember being around the most.
