Dear Family, Your Mom was such a good friend to my mom. They shared the common bond of being nurses and working at the Sioux Valley hospital museum and most recently good conversations on the phone to check to see how each was doing. I pray now for you as family in missing your mom. May you rest in the hope we have that does not disappoint. That the Lord will never leave nor forsake us and we know the place to where we go. Grace and Peace, Julie Roberts:), Dottie Paulsons daughter
