My very deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the Family of Dorothy Szep. I farmed in the Omro area for a number of years, and my family, as well as myself, were lifetime neighbors of the Heise and Szep Families. May the love of God our Heavenly Father comfort the Family of Dorothy Szep in this difficult time. May Dorothy Szep forever Rest In Peace.
