Dear John and family, I will always remember mornings before school at St. John's waiting with the 'older' girls to walk together. Your Mom was always so pleasant to visit with, especially in later years when I would go home to Antigo. Her eyes would light up when she talked about all of you! Cherish the memories and know that she will always be remembered fondly.
My heartfelt sympathy to John and family. She was a wonderful neighbor and such a kind, caring woman. I have such fond memories of her growing up, and I'm very grateful to both her and you for all the help you've given my mother. Prayers are with you.
