Memories and Condolences
for Mary Engelman

Not sure what to say?





February 28, 2013

So sorry to read about your mom. I just saw the obituary today in an old Tribune. I have fond memories of playing in your house with Steve and John and I remember your mom in the kitchen baking cookies and other things. What beautiful memories I have of growing up on Sheridan Road. Best wishes to all,
Anne Gumbiner Ney, Bettendorf, Ia.
