Hello Mrs. Hodgin,
I'm so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Please accept the group's sincere
condolences.
I have removed the email from the CBQ group, so you should no longer receive
emails from it.
Sincerely,
David Lotz
CBQ Group Owner

Please remove this email from your mailing list.
My husband passed away last week, and I am not interested in continuing to
receive emails.
Thank you,

Kenneth C Hodgin
