Mary and family,
I am sorry for the loss of your mother. Although I never met your mother I remember Wayne when his family lived near our farm in South Dakota many years ago.
My sincere sympathy to you all.

Hugs and prayers for the loss of Lois. She was my neighbor for many years and I was able to see her at the manor weekly.

Dear Wayne, Jody, Mary and Family,
I am so sorry to know that Lois is no longer with us. She meant a lot to me, the only one of her sister Frances’ daughters to have had the good fortune to know her. I loved her direct humor and was glad to have her as my aunt.
