Linda, Roy and families;
My sympathy to you all at this time in your lives. Neola was such a special lady to me here at the nursing home who I will always miss. She always had a huge hug for me and had to stop several times a day to make certain that things were going ok. May her memories bring you peace. Della Schumacher
All of you take care and we be thinking of you at this time.
Our deepest sympathy to you. I only met Neola once on a trip to Gettysburg and she was in the Manor. My Dad and Jay were cousins and she gave me important information for Dad’s history that I wrote. Again, our condolences to
you all. Always remember she is with you no matter where you go.
Roy and Mary, Sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. These times are never easy but if we have the faith God grants us we can bear it. Remember you are in my thoughts and prayers. We have a new ministr at the Methodist Church in Parker. His name is Pastor Bert Van Essen and he came from Gettesbutg. Small world, right? Please know that I still think of you guys real often. I finally sold the trike a year ago. It went to a good home. An old farmer that had painted it up, put chrome on it, and just thouroughly enjoys tooling around the countryside giving kids rides, driving in parades, anything that he can do on the trike. Take care and love to both of you. Fran Ingalls
