There are so many stories I could talk about my friendship with your mom Muriel. We had a card club and went from each other's homes to play cards. Not only did we play cards with 6 other gals, we played cards as couples in the evenings on weekends. We never got a babysitter all of the kids came along. Some would fall asleep, before we were done playing cards, and would be carried out to the car for the ride home.
Both Muriel and I were pregnant with Bobby and Jerry Jr. When I went into labor Jerry went out to start our car and it would not start, so he went over to Schmidt's and Bob gave him the keys to their car to get me to the Hospital, And If I remember right Muriel went to our apartment and stayed with Annette and Frank until Jerry got back home. They were very good friends of ours for not only the time we all lived in those apartments, but after we bought houses and moved a little away from each other. If I remember right, Cindy was close to Annette's age and maybe Cindy was Franks age and of course Bobby and Jerry Jr. were the same age.
So sorry for the loss of your Parents, my heart is full of the Fun Memories of your whole family.
Annette and her husband are Farmers and Ranchers about 13 miles south of Scranton where I live.
Frank is a an Architectual Draftsman lives in Rapid City SD
Jerry lives in Billings Mt. and is Director of Operations for the Goodman Group, so he runs many Nursing Homes and Assisted Livings on the west coast
I would love to hear from any of you kids, where you live and what you do. I retired at age 70 and now still live in the house Jerry and I built ourselves in 1979, I am going to be 82 and i good health for a lady who has beat Breast Cancer 25 years ago, and Colon Cancer 4 years ago. my address id Po Box 92 Scranton ND 58653

Jerry and I lived in the same apartment complex with Bob and Muriel in Garden Grove California in the 1960's. We had a lady's
My deepest sympathy to all of Muriel's card group who played at each other's homes every week. We visited back and forth a lot as we both were expecting a baby when Bobby was born to them and Jerry# was our baby in 1965. We were friends for some years before we moved back to Redding, California and then back to North Dakota.
My Deepest Sympathy to all of Muriel's families, Hug and Prayers to you all.
