So sorry to hear about your Mom. She was such a nice person. I always enjoyed rolling my car window down and chatting with her when I would drive by your house and see her sitting on the porch. I also loved to hear her laugh. May she rest in peace. Mary Ann and Carl Naessig

I was deeply saddened to hear about Aunt Shirley's passing. I have such fond memories of the times we shared, especially those lively parties at Butchie's house and our daily visits to the grill with my Mom and the ladies. Those moments were filled with laughter and joy, and I will always treasure them. Aunt Shirley had a remarkable way of making every gathering special, and her warmth and kindness will be dearly missed...

I met Mrs. Weidow at her husband's funeral. Her daughter Debbie is
a friend; who I met at Plains UMC group. Absolutely sweet lady, beautifull couple. He was a veteran during the Korean conflict. I
Believe Mrs. Weidow never got over her lifetime partner's death.
I know she died of a broken heart, yes, they were that couple. In
Love and partners for ever. Deb, they are together now. In the
Company of their creator and thrilled to be there.
This time for evermore. We are here for you, so you will not be
Alone. We are grieving with you. We may not be able to mend
Your heart; but we can offer you ours when you need the
extra strength because yours is broken. We are your "lunch
Buddies", your cheer leaders, your Plains possy. And we
Love you to the Moon and back,
Angie S.
