Dear Marianne, Melanie, Rosemary, Fred, Bernadine, Kathy, Marty, Geralyn, Abby, Margaret, and your families;

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your Mother and my Aunt Gail. I have very fond and warm memories of visiting and playing with my cousins during visits with my siblings when we were mere children. Your Mom seemed to take all of the excited children energy in stride and the visits were always fun.

My thoughts and prayers are with you today and the coming days. I celebrate her life with you, along with all of the Kreienkamp, Lawler, McAvoy, and Schramke clans.

With love,

Bill Hanewinkel
