    To the Mull / Spatz family –

    So sorry to hear of Aunt Thelma’s passing. Our annual trips to Cacapon and Black Water Falls with all the kids piled into the one room and playing Tripoli are some of my earliest and fondest West Virginia memories. Your Mom was always so nice.

    Last saw your Mom in July 2018 – Cricket Beaver brought my wife Maggy and I over to the house – and had a wonderful visit. I am sending a few photos you may enjoy of early years with my parents – to the BarlowBonsall email – hope they find their way to you.

    Also in reading the obit, I am really sorry to hear of Debbie’s passing. I wasn’t aware of that. Again deepest condolences.

    Please know my thoughts are with you all at this time.
