Condolence: Haven't seen Mary for years. Many times I was fortunate to enjoy her humor/wit when we met at Trudy Langfield's home in Dubuque. Trudy passed many years ago, and her husband, Dan, passed away on December 12, 2017. I would imagine Dan and Mary stayed friends for a long time because they had the same type of humor--poking fun at life! She was a wonderful human being and I feel blessed to have known her, though many years ago!

Condolence: I have never met your Mom, but darn it, I wish I had. I live a thousand miles away. I would settle for meeting her children (all but the one - and he or she knows who he or she is) who obviously inherited her sense of fun, and humor. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.

Condolence: Your family is truly blessed to have such a wonderful mother with a great outlook on life. She has raised all of her kids the right way with love and a sense of humor. I may have or not have met her but I will always remember her. She reminds me of my mom.
