To the entire family of Rebecca Sheetz I would like to offer my condolences on her passing. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit which offers
Support and love at difficult times. Becky and Sue Ziesmer Evans go back a long way. Their moms went back even farther having been traveling companions years ago. Sue and Becky were in each other's wedding in 1960 and 1961, on October 8th. Mary Sander was Nanna to our two daughters, Jennifer and Linda. Art Sander was also part of the package.
May God continue to bless you all in His special way.
Peace be to all of you.
