I was shocked to hear of your Mom's passing, I remember so fondly the get togethers that my parents would have with the group from St. Matthias up at Lake Geneva. It wasn't just a time that my parents looked so forward to but us kids as well with all the good food. Your Mom was quite a lady and St. Matthias and the Victor's always in my mind will go hand in hand. Thanks for the memories Mrs. Victor.

Dear Bill and family,



I so surprised to hear about El.



I can only remember the fun times we had at our "throw togethers" and

Jerry's love of her apple slices.

One time she make a pan just for him.



We had some fun working at the carnival in the food booth frying those greasy hamburgers. We smelled like grease for days.



I am so glad the kids have remained friends and even though I didn't see you as often as I would have liked I consider you and El life long friends.
