Dear John, I just read about the passing of your sister, Mary. I am so sorry, we now live in Georgia and I had a dentist appt. today and made me think of you and how great you were taking care of our family and for that I thank you again. As you probably know, my sister Marie passed away, it will be 2 years ago in Sept. I sure miss her. I am the last Muhlbauer left. I hope someday to move back into the area. Before we moved we had a hone on the lake in Sheridan for 12 years. We never should have moved. Like they say there is no place like home, so very true. It's good to know you are still around and hope you are doing well. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Time does notheal all wounds it just makes it easier to bear. Take care and God bless.

I am so sorry I am not to be in Lac
I am so sorry I cannot be there with my family to celebrate the life of Mary Katherine. I remember fondly all of the Twist family events and feel so sad that they have passed. Laugh, smile and share the memories. "Remember you´re a Twist!"

I am so very sorry to hear of Miss Twist passing. She was my high school guidance teacher at North Collins Central and showed me the right paths to take. She truly was an inspiration to me and was always very helpful. May God rest her soul
