My husband and I are very sorry to learn of your loss. She was a great friend of the Wichmann and Foley families. Every time I came up to visit my mother, I always came by her house to see her. To find out how she and her husband and family was doing. She always asked about my Mom and was a gracious woman. She will be greatly missed in our hearts and minds. But is comforting to know she is safely home.
