Frank, Virg, Jim, Matt and extended family- Sorry to hear about the recent death of your mother. We saw her when walking by your Deerbrook, WI home as she was often outside tending to the lawncare. She always took the time to say hi and catch us up on her children's happenings. We're sure she will be missed by many. God's blessings and peace to all.
Oh so many things I could say!! All the sleep overs and your mom never got upset to have more people in her home- the more the merrier!! All the card parties at our house!! Even tho we have been apart for quite some time, I think about all of you quite often and always is a happy thought!! I truly Love you all!! Till we meet again Mary- RIP!!!
I knew your Mom several years ago when she lived in Clarence, I just lost my Mom, so please know I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers
