Dear Rosemary and family, Sorry fir the loss of your mother. I send my most sincere sympathy to you in this challenging time. Wayne Eich
What a wonderful friend and neighbor you have been to our family! We have several family favorites for holidays from all the goodies you shared with us through the years! You will be missed, we will remember you always!
Rest in peace, dear friend — you were and will remain such a bright light in my life and as you know in Darrel’s also. The two of you singing gospel songs; you and I sharing so many good times with laughs and some tears also. I will miss you but you will always remain in my heart. Thank you for being such a very special person.
