Sending Sympathy to the family of Doris. I am sorry for your loss. Doris was a longtime friend from our days in the Delavan classrooms.
She was a special lady who brighten the day when you had a visit. Such good memories of time shared.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Beyer was the absolute best teacher – thankful to have been in her classroom. Kind, intelligent, focused on her students and their success – we were fortunate! Sympathies to her family.
Tom, so sorry to see your mom passed, She and my mom used to lunch together at Keystone in Mankato. Such a classy woman . We had some nice visits. Actually I Evan did her hair a few times. She will be missed. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Sincerely, Tami Kalis ( Grunzke)
Hi Tami, thank you so much for your comment and prayers, we really appreciate it! When I visited her at Keystone she would always tell me that she had seen you. I was looking through her old Minnesota Lake newspapers and just saw that Bob Feist, Miriam’s husband had passed away, I talked to him at our class reunion and I remember Miriam saying Bob was having some health problems. So sad when people pass away. I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy! Tom
