Dear Hegland Family, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful family you come from, as if you didn't know! When I was 5 and your Mother was 9 we moved in next door to the Montabano Family on Rutledge. Mamie's Mama, (as I called your Grandma) became my second Mother and Mame my big sister. I love that family as much as I did my own, from Uncle Joe's home brew to Mamie's Mama's Pasta. You are very lucky to have such a heritage and a Mother like Mamie. My sincere condolences and best wishes to all of you. Love Shirley Bolinger Castles
