John, Your mother was a beautiful lady inside and out
May God Bless her soul

Paul and Doris were former neighbors. We shared many evenings playing cards. Doris was a devoted Sunday School teacher and member of St. Peters. They loved to dress up for Halloween and treating the children when the children came to their door. May she rest in peace. Bernie & Peg Sonnek
