You all were blessed for having such a loving mother/grandmother/ great-grandmother. She will be missed. She always greeted me and my family with love and affection when she was with Mrs. Wischmann in Oakdale. Marie and Kirk and girls our prayers are with you today, as they are always. She was a special lady.
Love and Prayers,
