Barbara, Patti and Tom, I was sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I think the last time I saw her was when she came to visit Dad when he was in Pioneer Ridge. I wish I could be there for you, but know I’ll be watching from home. Hugs to all of you!
Patti, Tom and Barbara,
Sorry to hear about your moms loss. Big hugs and know that many will be watching the live stream.
A lovely soul, and delightful human being. Enjoyed the times I got to know her and attended her family reunions, getting to meet her extended relations.
To Patti, Barbara, and Tom my most sincere condolences.
Peace be with you.

Sorry to hear about Muriel’s passing. Such a sweet lady. I am rembering Muriel sitting in one of the back pews at Trinity folding a bulletin into shapes of a hat or boat, etc. to keep our kids intertained. Sending prayers to her family.

Our condoleneces on the loss of your Mom. Auntie M, was a great lady, always caring, loving to everyone she knew. We will miss her greatly. Our thought and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Such a lovely service that would have met the approval of Aunt Muriel. When the strong women of our family pass on to their final home we naturally mourn our loss. But we must remember how important it would be to Aunt Muriel that she left some of her strength to all of us. She is still there and still watches over all. We were blessed to have known her and to have our own memories of her for which I am always grateful. I know the group waiting for her was large. It is nice to know that Uncle Owen, with his patience wearing thin, was calling her to join them. Love and strength, patience and caring are message she has left for us all. To my cousins, we here in Wisconsin love you all.
Patti, Tom and Barbara,
What a Beautiful service. Picturing you Mom and Dad reuniting in Heaven is a great comfort.
Please know that you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Mark and Helen
Barbara and Patty,
You spoke well and eloquently. I especially liked the thought about the hawk. I think you are both strong women. Hello to Tom. May your mother Rest in the Peace of the Lord.
So very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was the best neighbor and always made time to visit with me. I know she loved each of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you today and during your time of healing. May you be comforted with all the memories you have of your mother and the time you spent with her.
My deepest sympathy,
Maggie Kruger
Tom, Barbara and Patty. The service was lovely and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
