Dear Feldhake Family:

I am sorry to hear of Mama Lu's passing - my prayers go out to all of you. She (along with your dad) were such fun-loving people - the true example of that is to look at all of you and how you live your lives. What a great gift to each of you! Even though our small town families are spread far and wide, we share a special bond. God Bless You and my prayers go out to each of you.

To the Feldhake Family -

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Our childhood memories will always be remembered. Lou - will always be remembered in our hearts - I can still see her now...the pink cadillac driving the neighborhood kids to school. May she rest in peace and be joined with her loved ones in Heaven. She is in good hands with the Lord - our heavenly Father. God Bless the Feldhake family. God Bless Lou.

All our love, The Barnby Family

I was saddended to hear about the passing of your Mom. I feel blessed that that I was able to enjoy the company of her and Uncle Ed when they would make their trips to Ohio. She was always laughing and having a good time and that is how I will remember her. She will remain forever in my heart and I know that her and Rose (my Mom) are smiling in heaven!! With deepest sympathy, love and prayers.
