I offer my condolences and sincere sympathy to you Ross, and all your family. I'm sure yiu remember my folks from Mt. Olive (so many years ago), Rod & Donna Yarish. M9m just turned 85 and is in the midst of "the long goodbye. It's very hard, as yiu know. If it wasn't for the love of our Savior, the pain would be unbearable. Thanks be to God that He loved us so much, we are assured of a reunion in heaven! My brother Dave and I, we're just at Mom & Dad's last weekend and we're looking through some old Mt. Olive pictorial directories. Your names came up as we reminisced about the old days and thought of your BEAUTIFUL Corvair! How strand a week later we learn of Fran's being called home. The Lord has mysterious ways! I'm in Wausau, Dave is by Baraboo, and the folks are living in Highland (Iowa County) where they were born. I treasure my childhood at Mt. Olive surrounded by a bunch of fine folks like you. Many years have passed, but the memories linger. Praying for comfort and peace for all of you at this time of sorrow... and joy knowing she is in the arms of Jesus.
