Fremont, NE Thursday, April 3, 2008 I'm so sorry about your mom. She was a great person and enjoyed talking to her when I would see her at Wal-Mart. She would always talk about you kids and the grandkids. I am sorry I won't be able to attend her funeral on Friday but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember all the good times and the laughter and the sadness will be easier to bear. Just think--she is with your dad now with no more pain--how wonderful is that? Again I am sorry for your loss.
