Our families were friends over at least 3 generations, and we shared a Dec. 14th birthday with both my parents (Charles & Hetty Kuhn) & my maternal grandmother. My condolences to her family. Sally Kuhn

Nancy was always one of our favorite people when she would come in the shop, and we shared many wonderful chats with lots of laughs. I held her in the highest esteem! We will miss her!

My deepest sympathy to the family. Mrs Bechtle was always so lovely to me when I would see her out and about in the neighborhood. She will be missed.
