"Dear John and family, I will always remember mornings before school at St. John's waiting with the 'older' girls to walk together. Your Mom was always so pleasant to visit with, especially in later years when I would go home to Antigo. Her eyes would light up when she talked about all of you! Cherish the memories and know that she will always be remembered fondly. "
In loving memory of
