Steve,
Russ and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Russ and Diana Rocheford
James and I are so sorry for your loss. It may be difficult to see now, but we know that the memories of the wonderful times you spent together with your Mom will help to ease your pain over time. Take care, we're thinking of you.
James and Pam Muilenburg
I'm sorry to hear of your mother's death. I know how difficult this time is for you as I just lost my mother on May 6th, this year. I am a cousin of yours. My grandmother, Minnie (Larson) Carlson from Ashby (died in 1966) was a sister to Claude's mother, Dora. I have been doing a lot of family history from the Larson side of the family and have both your parents in "the book" I am working on as well as all their children. I would very much like to establish contact with you regarding family history, etc. My deepest sympathies go out to all of you.
