Wilferd C. Ifft

Susan, So sorry to learn of your father´s passing. I remember trick or treating as a child and your parents always invited me in and wanted to talk. I always enjoyed the conversation. I ran into him at the Lowry House a number of years ago and he was excited to catch up. Condolences on your loss!

Bill and Janet were the best neighbors ever!

Susan, you have my sympathy in the passing of your father. I remember your mother and you from Trinity Church.
