Dottie, Peggy, Bill and Nancy – your mom was a sweetheart. Helen and Bob were so excited to see her when they moved to Masonic. She had a good life there. I know you will miss her. With sympathy, Laura
Nancy, Bill, Peggy and Dottie, I have such wonderful memories of your mom. I can still see her watching all the kids in the neighborhood ride their bikes around the circle and allowing occational trips to Dairy Queen, as long as we brought one back for her. Her sweet, gentle spirit and soft spoken way made her such a special person. We will miss her very much. With Love, Jan, Rich and Deanna Broga
