Mike, Monica and Family,
So sad to hear about your Mom's passing. We had many talks about Baraboo when we worked at Farmers. She was my retiree buddy. We both retired on the same day . She was a very Special Lady. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Joan at Farmers Insurance, I considered her as my dearest friend. My heart is broken we both loved to walk when she and Ray lived in Boulder Hill and we went to see Elvis Impersonators at the Paramount. Both of us were big into Elvis and talked about taking a girls trip to Memphis when we both we’re working. Joanie I will miss you my friend but I know it was your time you’re with Ray now Prayers to the family and friends you’re all in my heart. ❤
