Mr Swanson, Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Mrs. Swanson gave us the recipe for her 'David's Pancake' for my bridal shower back almost 7 years ago. I make it quite often and think of her when I do. I hope that you will find comfort in God's presence and your fond memories of her.
