Dear neighbors,
I was so sorry to read of your loss. I remember you as our neighbors on 5th Av. S. in Hopkins. Back in the day, between your family and ours, their were enough kids to fill the neighborhood.
May God bless you all.

Lois and family:
You have my condolances and I shall pray for Bill.
I lived on a farm near Bancroft, Iowa, and went to St John's as well. I was born during 1931 so Bill was a little older than I.
