Vince and Kenny and families, I feel so badly for your loss and that I did not find out about your moms passing until after her funeral. I wouldve loved seeing you and catching up. I remember your mom as a fun-loving, energetic, and caring woman who loved her family deeply. I am sure you will miss her, have fond memories, and rejoice in knowing she is with her Savior eagerly awaiting a reunion with all of you! Gods love and blessings to both of you and your families.

I have not seen Shirley for some time, but I will always remember the good times with Shirley and Carl at the Neumann family farm and the woods trips we made.
