The days of a carload of food, beer and Germain children traveling out to the boondocks of Colden, to spend the day at my mom and dad’s house, now our house, many years ago, are fond memories I will always cherish.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all, at this time of great loss. We are so sorry.
Love Rick & Kellie (Nelson) Shanley
