Remember Avis as a very kind lady. She helped myself out when our oldest son had allergy breathing problems visiting his grandmother in western MN. June and Harold were gone that day for a while, so we stayed with her until they returned. There was also a tornado that was in the area. Not a dull moment visiting MN.

That generation is disappearing or has disappeared from our lives sadly.

The Durfee family extends their sympathies to everyone in Avis' family.

Cheryl,

Pat Kragh-Durphy sent me a copy of your mother's death notice.

I was so sorry to see it. My condolences to you and the rest of your family.

May she rest in peace.
