    Dear Bruening Family, its been s many years to see you and how much fun we all had together at the old Plaza too. Your mother was like a fixture there and so many funny stories I had heard from her, I remember when I use to detail that big Pontiac she had in the 70’s. so many good times with all of you too. She was a Gem I know, please know I will pray for her soul too. I see Ricks son at St. Rose. Paul Paul
