Dear Kevin, Richard and families: I still remember Diane, your mom, as a busy little girl and now she has had a busy life with family and friends. I remember visiting Diane and Wiley at a family get together at Silver Lake, just a few years ago. I will think of the good times together and we will get together again - upstairs.
Prayers and love,
Aunt Grace (Menard) Feider
