Arlene, Mike, LuAnn and your families,
The loss of “Mother” is only bearable by all the beautiful memories she left you. She was my “Godmother,” and I knew her best of all the Aunts as we were growing up. Your farm was always a second home for us, filled with love and fun that was always shared so generously. The miles that separate us cannot tarnish those memories that I will cherish forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your cousin, Pat

Theisen family:
Please accept our condolences as a family to family. Pat & Mel & family, Lou & Ev and family, Pam and family, and of course, me, sister-in-law Lu.
Auntie Kitty and Uncle Wally’s was our second home. Being an Air Force family, their home was always our home away from home.
Kitty’s hospitality, smile, warm heart and good foods made not only us, but all who met her feel ever so welcome.
You are all in our prayers.
Arlene & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope God gives you the strength and peace that you will need in the days and months to come. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
Sharon
