Personal Notes:
Every time my family went on a road trip when Jean, Joe & John were kids, Mabel would make the Cookie Sheet Cake and send the whole pan with us.
Several times she would just make it if she knew the kids would be coming home.
Mabel Miller was my boss at Lay Bonded Abstract Company.....
Mabel was a good boss and a good friend.
