"You have my deepest sympathies on the death of your loved, Wesley.....Through the years, he and Norma invited us over to play cards or just to chat! I attended their church, Christ Lutheran, and became good and faithful friends...... They, indeed, will both be missed very much! May God give you strength and endurance during this difficult time............"
In loving memory of
