Read MoreI remember all the fun times we had in school and in summers ridding our horses. And especially when I went to Bali with her and family. I felt so bad I could not make it to her service. I am sure everyone is missing her wish we could have gotten together more often. Loving thoughts to everyone.

Dear Gale or Gail, You would think I would know. So sorry you have lost your sweetheart. I understand. My sweetheart, Ray Geilmann passed away A year ago in August. Hope your family are there for you. I live in Portland, Oregon. I have three children here, one in Provo and one in Indiana. They try to keep in touch but most have busy lives with job and kids. Still, they are a comfort. It is so fun to remember all the good times our Andersen family had together. I remember playing...
