The things remembered most for me were my summers at the farm, fishing with Grandma, and both Grandpa and Grandma attending my football and basketball games! It meant so much to me seeing them up in the crowd, and could even hear them from time to time! Grandma will be missed greatly! My condolences to all of the children of Wilbur and Evelyn!
I and my mother (Joyce Jones Mundahl) always enjoyed visiting with Evelyn on our way through to the Black Hills.
A $50.00 donation was made to the Daniel Mundahl Scholarship Fund at Bethany Lutheran College in her memory.
