I have such fond memories of Mrs Wren! Such a warm, caring and loving lady. Always a smile for you and always interested in knowing all about your life! I remember days long ago with a few over nights at the farm, and then more recently visits at the IPM or at one of the Doris Kid's events. Gone much too soon, but Carolyn has every wonderful quality that her mom had so Willis will live on for much longer. Our sympathies to the entire Wren Family.
