I am so going to miss my cousin, Rita. She always had a very positive manner, and every conversation always showed her strength. My mother, Irma Schulz Gollan, loved her dearly and now they are together.

Kathy,
So sorry to hear about your mom. I will always remember your mom sitting with Mrs. Upton on the Upton's front porch on an early summers evening talking about "adult" things; which back then we couldn't even comprehend how they had so much to talk about.
Take care, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Kind Regards,
Cindy (Taylor)

Dear Beck Family,
My sincere condolence goes out to your family. Life seems very hard to deal with when you lose someone you love in death. May you find comfort in the bibles promise found at Psalms 34:18 which says "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves."
