Myrna wrote to Donnette Smith: My daughter, Kirsten, called me from Colorado Springs to tell me that her husband's cousin, had been stationed in Iraq. He had a massive aneurysm of the brain and had had all life support removed. He was married to one of Aunt Pearle and Uncle Fred's granddaughters. Her married name is Sharon Boyce and I was wondering if you knew her or knew of her. Kirsten was unclear who the parents of Sharon are.

 Kirsten said she had spent time with Sharon and her husband when they wereliving in Colorado before he was called up to serve. She is quite concerned and wonders if there is a way to offer sympathy to the Smith side of the family.

Love, Myrna Trauntvein
