Sorry for the loss of your father and mother. Bernadine worked at the Shepherd’s Inn the same time I did.
I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the memorial service for Bern and Eddie. Bern was a dear friend of mine ever since elementary school. We spent many, many times together over the years at each other’s homes. I treasure the many memories I have of Bern, she was a true friend. I was able to visit with you, Kellie, several times when I worked in Wells and would have loved to see you again. I will be with you and Drew and your family in spirit.
Sincere Sympathy to the Family. You are in our thoughts & prayers.
We sure loved your parents and spent many enjoyable hours with them when we lived in Wells. They were faithful attendees at our Bible Studies and Sunday morning breakfasts with Ed was something that was looked forward to. Our deepest condolences to you, We are sure of their standing with the Gracious God they both believed in strongly and look forward to seeing them again.
Drew & Kelli, We are all so saddened to hear about the passing of your dad, and our brother-in-law and uncle. I hope you take solace in knowing they are now together again. They had a beautiful love for each other. We miss them both. Bruce Klocek & Susan Garot
