Darla and family
So sorry to hear about your mother. Keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
All our sympathy, Merv and Doris Mewes
To GG Marg’s family-
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother and Grandmother– We will always remember all the great quilts she made- I got the baby quilts out to show the boys- they remembered using them and will get them when their kids are born (God willing they have some!)
