Dear Skoog Family - We send our thoughts and love to you from Arizona. Carin has kept us informed of this sad occasion and we will miss seeing Warren and having chats with him. He was a quiet man and we never did really know all about him until we read his obit. Quite a guy. You are all proud of him, I'm sure. You are in our thoughts. Pat & Henry

Dear Skoog family, My name is Donna Parsons and I work with Rachel Bement. I feel her loss because she talks about her Grandpa and what it has been like with him the last few days. Reading his life story in the Messenger makes me realize what a wonderful man her Grandpa must have been. My thoughts are also with her Grandma, 63 years of marriage, what a WONDERFUL accomplishment. You will miss your husband dearly, but know he will always be in your thoughts and heart. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
