See Condolences

My deep sympathy to Barclay and Kurt on the death of your mother. I am incredibly and deeply saddened at the passing of my dear friend; we called each other sisters. I am her Alma friend who spent such time with her singly and with our husbands. I will miss her in my life incredibly. Would someone call me please and tell me about her final days? (989-463-2209) I talked with her in mid-November, and she was excited about plans to have you all around her at Christmas in Punta Gorda. Know that my memorial to her will be to the Alma Public Schools fund with Gratiot County Community Foundation.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
