Dear family, I am sorry for your loss. May each of you find comfort in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart ;and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. Psalms 34;18)
Sorry Mom is not doing well enough to bring her to the funeral. She sure will miss Jenny as we will as well. Loved to play cards with her when they came to see Mom. Thinking of all of you at this time. Take care of yourself, Uncle Floyd. Our sympathies are with you at this difficult time. Neice Mavis
I was sorry to read today about the loss of Genevieve, what a great lady! Lori, I remember so well while working with you at Ben Franklin, the snow would be several inches high, but your Mom would manage to bring in some of her wonderful ham and bean soup still piping hot. Although I did get her recipe, it never did taste as good as hers. My sympathy goes out to you Lori and your whole family. God Bless.
