Love and prayers to Karen and her family. Aunt Alma was such a wonderful aunt and I know her and my dad , Aaron, were very close. We had such good memories of visiting the family farm of Aunt Alma , Uncle Matt and cousin Karen..playing in the barn and having yummy meals together. Uncle Matt also loved to tease! So many good visits. . We know God will pour out His blessings to them through His Love, Grace and Blessings giving peace and comfort. LOVE YOU ALL..Kathy Leisle Woiblet and Family
