All of Mattke family it seems just yesterday I was emailing on Ken leaving us. Very sorry for your great lost. Have a lot of great thoughts from over the years from your folks. How happy and greatfull they were for all Sherry and Pete did for them.
To the Mattke family, you have my deepest condolences at this difficult time. Hold all your memories close and know that mom and dad are together again and watching over all of you. They both can breath easier now and have no pain. I met them when they would come to the hospital for appt. and I had Ken in Pulmonary rehab.
our deepest sympathy to all the family she will be greatly missed may she rest in peace
