Awww, just checked lately with Lynnette on how “dad” was doing! Sorry to hear of his death. We enjoyed your folks so much in the Sears days! I remember taking my brother and family from Pennsylvania to the farm. Your mom had chicken noodle soup for us! Thinking of you. With love, Lee and Dica
LuJane and Lynette you have our condolences on the loss of your dad. I always will remember the stories your mom would tell and your dad would smile and listen to them again and again! Good people! We will keep them in our thoughts and prayers. Joe & Debbie
Thinking of you and your family, LuJane. Gary and Kim Podraza
Sending our sympathy and prayers to all of you! Jerry, Dee, & Girls
