"Our sympathy Christy & John & all the Bengston family,
We will always have fond memories of working with your parents in the church at Uehling. I especially remember your mom's enthusiasm in the women's work. She was always so pleasant and helpful. May you be comforted in knowing what a blessing she was in her lifetime. We will honor her with a memorial to Salem. In caring love, Stan & Ione Popken"
