So many memories of Izzy, me and Mara Lee and Joe playing our annual tennis match at the lake in Detroit Lakes at the Pine to Palm tournament. Stayed with them during our ND open tournament for many years as well. She will be missed but not forgotten.

Matt & Julie & family, so very sorry to hear of Mara’s passing away! She & Joe were great neighbors and we enjoyed both of them immensely. Couldn’t ask for better neighbors. Occasionally we’d Have to ask them to send the smoke the other direction! 😊 Deb & Joe would often mow the lawn at the same time, they had a great time! Miss both of them and think of our neighbors often. Our condolences! Brad & Deb Wimmer
