"Not sure why the ?l? did t show up, but my last name is Wurl not Wur"
"So sorry to hear of her passing. Had hoped she would make it to 100, but it wasn?t in the cards. None the less she was the last survivor of the Albert & Caroline Wurl?s children and spouses. She will be missed. I remember staying with Don and Bernice when I was very young. I remember her making home made maple bars and they were soooo good. I remember the family coming to our house for New Years when I was young. We always had either goose or duck, do t recall which, with Grandma Wurl?s stuffing recipe that had raisins in it. "
"I\'m sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed visiting with aunt Bernice, she listened very closely and was easy to converse with. I remember when I was little and we would come to visit, she would always treat us to some kind of homemade cookie before we left."
"I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mom was the sweetest, most gentle soul. I loved seeing her and your Dad when they came to town to order fertilizer in the spring, at the Coop where I worked. Your Mom had the sweetest smile and her and I would visit about gardening and the weather while the men talked business. Your Dad always had that smirk of a smile as he said goodbye. Heaven gained another angel. Karen (Rollie) Peterson. "
