Jeff and family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. It was not that long ago we had a long chat in the parking lot of KMart. He will surely be missed. I also knew your mom, I worked with her when the FNCB bank was called Farmers & Merchants Bank. We were just looking at our wedding pictures (30+ yrs ago)and there is a wonderful picture of your parents. If you should want a copy of that picture let me know They were both great people.
