Kris, Edith, Kathy and Tom, Our Deepest Sympathy and Prayers for you and families. Loved to visit with your mom and my mother when they volunteered at the church office. In last several years when visiting family we had lunch as a group (Uncles, Aunts, cousins, brothers and sisters) and then while she was at Covenant Glen home in Frankenmuth we also had several nice visits. She is at peace with her Lord and Savior.
