"Family of Iona, she was on our bowling team for a few years back in the mid 70's, which we took 1st. place several times. She always made us laugh and remember--no body who had lessons ever misses the 5 pin. It is with sadness to hear of her passing, but her faith allows us to know where she is. Our family sends our condolences and prayers that you all hold onto those wonderful memories."
