Earl and I are sorry to hear about Nyra. We shared a lot of time with our families at Sauganash and St. Paul. I know Julie and Connie always enjoyed the time they spent with the Gay family and I enjoyed working with her on school projects. She was quite a lady and will be missed terribly by her family I am sure. Carol and Earl Wuertzler
