I remember your family filling a pew at St. John’s. Even as small children, you were all so well behaved. Much of this was probably attributed to your dear mother. So sorry for your loss.

To Ralph and all the family. Condolences on the passing of Vera. It was so much fun to visit your home and share the family times with everyone. I will always remember the polka dances and the music events we all attended, including your parents 25th anniversary at a wonderful dance celebration. Blessings for a life lived well and shared with so many.
