Dear Dolores and family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy at this time - I'm sorry I won't be at the visitation or the funeral service but just know that my thoughts and prayers are withyou all...You and Bob were faithful members of Timothy - what good times we had with Pastor Thieme. Our son, Bill, was in Don's class at Timothy - good memories.
Fondly,
Joan Gray
