I was saddened to hear about your mom. Diane always spoke so highly and kindly about her. She was a special person to her when you girls were growing up. May her memory keep her close in your hearts, always. God's peace as you celebrate her life. Jacque (Houge) Bogue

Red, Vonnie, Chuck, Mike, Tom, Bob & Sharon,
I was shocked when I opened the obituaries in the Tribune this pmQJ to see your mother amoung the deceased. She was such a great lady who I so greatly admired. She was such a strong lady who always had her family upper most in her mind. My sorrow at your loss is overwhelming. I can't tell you how we greive for the family. Red, you had a great lady for a wife and to the rest of the family, you had a great mother. I can't tell you how sorry I am that I can't be with you to express our sorrow and to celebrate Marly's life.
From the bottom of my heart.
Paul Ehrhard
