"Joy, Lisa and Troy, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our prayers. This is the Nelson family - Dennis, Dianne and Nancy (Buselmeier now) from T-bird. Dennis just reflected on a golf story where Nancy and Lisa were playing a softball game in Yuma and Dennis and Mike went golfing on a course that had a lot of older people walking the course. Dennis and Mike rented a cart because they didn't realize it was a small executive course. He said all of the old people were starting at them wondering why they would be using a cart LOL. It was a wonderful memory."
