Merle, from your 3rd cousin, Phyllis Jarnick Calder, Green Bay. We are sorry to learn of your loss and grief. Life is backwards,when we are young and can fend for our selves we have a companion and then, when we're old and need companionship we're left alone. We send our sympathy. (Our Dad's were lst cousins so yes, we are 3rd cousins). My sis and I see Cousin Ken Boelter a few times a year and that is
nice. Take care of yourself.
