Jim and your family, we want to express our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Sylvia. We have missed you for a long time. Then found you had moved. You and Sylvia were always a loving couple we enjoyed knowing. Remembering what a good cook and baker she was. Our prayers are with you.

I was a friend of Joann’s and I fondly remember going to the Weis’s farm for school trips. They were always such a welcoming and loving family. You are all in my prayers.

. They were model students with great senses of humor. They were a pleasure to teach. Such well mannered children are indicative of good parenting. I never met Mrs. Weis, but I certainly enjoyed teaching her children. Rita, I, having lost my own dear mother, know the pain of loss. You have my sympathy. rnp
