Ray,
So sorry to hear about your mother’s passing.
She will be greatly missed. May God bless you all.
Ray, Bruce and family, I was so sorry to read in the paper of your mother’s passing. I know how difficult it is to lose your mother. I enjoyed talking to her when I was renting at the mini storage. She was a very positive person. Best to you all.
to mary, don and family, our deepest sympathies in the passing of your mother. don & susan funderud
I was so saddened to hear about Hilda. I didn’t hear about it until too late on Sunday night at Moma’s. I didn’t get to come see her at the nursing home because of being tied up with Dad at the nursing home for the last five years.
Hilda was like a second mother to me. I learned so much from her just by being there when she was teaching you all. She was the best of the best mothers and I know she will be greatly missed by everyone. Please let Roy and everyone read this, it is very important to me. It has been a long time since I have seen all of you. I never go anywhere except to my three doctors. Lets try to see each other soon. Love to all of you. Frank
