Barb and Brenda,,dear cousins,,,im sending my sympathy to you and also want to share the victory of your Mothers entry to eternal life with Jesus. My memories go back to the Menges Reunion at Winkleplex Grove in Sugarcreek. Aaron Funk would always give a speech on how proud he was of his family and about passing our love of family and faith to future generations. Now I guess that is our job. Blessing to all of you and your family. Love from Kathy Feller, .. Edna Karlings granddaughter. Miss you ...

Barb and Brenda,
I hope you know that we will be thinking about all of you in the coming days. Like mom, Aunt Gloria is now at peace, and in that, we have to take comfort.
Take care and God bless!
