Fergus Falls MnMy husband, Sandy, and I were friends of Helen and Tom while attending MnDak CCC meetings. They were a loveable couple – gentle spirits and interested in others. Altho the years have gone by since I saw them, I have always remembered each as special people. They truly had love for each other. That is a special gift for you to cherish. God Bless

We were sorry to hear about your Mom’s death. Bob is going to try to make it to the funeral. She was a nice lady. Mom and Dad enjoyed their friendship with your parents for many years. I always think of your Mom in my parents wedding picture.
Our prayers are with you.
