To the Wamhoff family, I am sorry for your loss. Lois was such a neat lady. I enjoyed hearing her and Irene’s stories. I will miss her smile. My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time.
Linda, Sam and family, I am so sorry for your loss, but just know she is now at peace, with a healthy body and mind and running around in heaven enjoying herself. We have talked numerous times about your mom and she is where she has wanted to be the last couple of years, joining your dad and all of her lady friends from the church. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
