My sister & I can both remember our parents, Elmer & Fern Meiser talking about both of your parents. They would stop & visit Mom even after Dad had passed, on their way to a basketball game in the area. It was always a joy to get to see them. We have heard only the best of the memories they shared. Dad has been gone 23 years ago today and Mom passed in May of 2009. We were each blessed to have such wonderful parents.
Sincere sympathy,
Betty (Meiser) & Bob Fallot
Myra (Meiser) & "Red" Williams
