Darice and family, I am so sorry to hear about your Mother, my condolence’s to you all.
I remember going out to your parents farm and going on hay rides, visiting the cows and eating Dill Pickles. Your Mother made the BEST Dill Pickles. Both of your parents and all of you were always so welcoming to us and my kids, Brent and Jenny loved visiting the farm.
Please know you are in my prayers.
