Condolences
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I met your parents when they visited my grandparents in AZ in the late 90’s. They both had a fantastic sense of humor and I loved hearing their stories about growing up in Willard. One amazing story I remember was the time your parents and my grandparents saw each other at the drive in. Your parents had just gotten engaged and my grandparents had just been married. It was sweet hearing your mom and my grandmother talking about showing off their rings and sharing their excitement. After their visit your mom and I remained penpals and I cherished her letters and holiday cards. She was an amazing lady. My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to everyone in your family and community.
Scott and family , sorry to hear of your mothers passing . You all are in our thoughts and prayers at this time . When I think of your mother I remember the goulash recipe she submitted to the Willard Times . Our family loved it .May your parents be together once again in Heaven .
