What a wonderful woman, your precious mother, and a classy lady too. She was always so kind and loving to us, not only beautiful (love that smile) on the outside but inside as well, and it showed, truly a blessing to others. We will remember her always.

Connie, Mary,and Pat,
We are so very sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a very special lady.
Dad still remembers her pies that were so delicious. I remember as far back as when we were all kids. I lived on the farm and you were on Best Road then. Then I lived next door to Elene and Del for a number of years. Our Dad's were best friends forever. Dad is living in Idaho with me and is 90 now so he won't be able to attend the services but he and I wish to convey our sympathy to all you girls and your families.
