Sorry I will not be able to attend the funeral have another the same day will be in touch Janice
Sorry for your loss. My mother was born in July 1933 in Adams. It’s likely she went to school with and knew Jean and Joan.
I remember getting together a couple of times with Angie (and Oliver) and Jean and Joan. Our sympathy to the family
Sorry to hear of her passing. I haven’t been able to visit with her for several years. She was my cousin along with her sister Joan and I enjoyed knowing them and years ago, bowling with them in leagues. I didn’t realize the family had grown so much. She is with Charlie and Joan now and God is watching over them all. Prayers are going out to the family and she will be missed by all who knew her.
