Cousins:
I have many fond memories of aunt Delores. The get togethers around Christmas time at our different homes was always looked forward to and fun.
She, as I recall, usually wore lipstick and was smiling. Not sure I will make it up there for the service, however know that my prayers are with all of you my cousins. 🙏 Be mindful this is a temporary separation, as we can all see her again someday.
Dear Wieseler kids, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Our families shared many good times together while we were all growing up on the farm. My prayers and sympathy are with you today and the days ahead.
She was fun to visit with. A pleasant lady, great sense of humor![0
Wieseler family, I remember your mom's laugh the most. It seemed to me that she laughed a lot. Thinking of her reminds me of good times on the farm and the kids getting together. I am sorry for your loss. The moms are the hardest.

Dear Lord, You know and understand all things. You know that a family has just lost someone very special and needs your strength and comfort. Please grant them peace of mind and heart and the hope that washes sadness away. Amen I remember her smile, she seemed to love to laugh and that she liked to wear jewelry.
Sorry for your loss, she will be missed
