Such a sweet kind lady. In the few short years that we knew her, we feel blessed for that privilege. She was so proud of her grandchildren showing us pictures every time. You have our deepest sympathy, Carl.

I remember the fun we had during our time at Chanute. There we 5 of us ladies having babies in 1977. We were able to share our struggles and our experiences having our babies. I will never forget the love we had for each other and the love we had for Christ and our heavenly father.
