We were known as "the Hockema boys" that lived across Summit Street in 1972-1978. Our driveway was concrete and theirs was gravel, so we would play in, and gather the gravels with our Tonka trucks! Our dad made us go over and apologize for digging in their driveway. Mr. and Mrs. Cade were always so friendly, kind, and gracious. I'm sure she will be missed. May you know God's comfort and peace in these days. Psalm 116:15.

Aunt Margaret was always so nice. I remember her fondly from my childhood when we visited her and Uncle Carroll. I am sad to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family and friends. I will always remember her with happy memories.
