Dear Renee, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Carol and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family grieving the loss of your beloved, sweet mother! I remember visiting your parents as a young child when they lived on Birch Lake and also your grandparents Anna and Frank many times during my childhood. They were much loved members of the family! So hard to lose 😪 a mother, no matter at what age. Sending hugs.
