Tom, LeRoy, Loran and Amos: My sincere sympathy to you in the loss of your mother. Your family has been remembered ever since I was your teacher back in 54-55 and boarded at your home near Streeter. You were just little boys at that time, but a very memorable time for me. God's blessings be with you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Verna Zimmerman

Tom, Loren, Leroy, & Amos... Please accept our sympathies on the loss of your mother. I have so many good memories from all the years of visiting the farm, and also of Ruth's excellent cooking. I know that she will be missed so much by so many people on this earth, but welcomed so by many who have gone before her. We regret that we are unable attend the services. God bless. -Dan & Maggie

It is always sad to view the obits online and was so sad to see your mom's yesterday. She was always special to me and I have many fond memories of her. I had not seen her in many years but often thought about her and being neighbors back in Streeter, I would love to hear from some of you boys. Love Marlene
