I have many fond memories of Grace, Dale and all of the girl's. Karen, Linda, Joyce and Shirley and their spouses and their children. Their tradition of always having the bride's stolen at their Weddings and especially their dog, Snoop, and all of the fond memories in their house on Tiffin. With lots of love and memories,
Kelli Rater Wright.
