"I send my sympathies to Donna, Robbie (one of my brothere Doug's best buddies back in the day) and Sally.......I will always remember your Dad AND your Mom from my days at St.Peter's Lutheran in Scribner. The two have left a great Legacy in each of you. It helps me to remember that Death ends a Life but Not a Relationship, so you can "talk" to your folks "forever.".............heartfelt, Larry"
