    I am Mike Barteks brother in law and loved talking with Rose Marie. She was always so welcoming to me and my wife Mary. I loved her and Milo’s stories. John 14:1-6 Jesus said He would go an prepare a place for His followers.
    Love Rich and Mary Liliedahl

    Rose Marie and Milo were long time friends of my parents, Don & Dorothy Clabaugh. Milo, Ray Cernik, and my dad served in WWII together. Always enjoyed seeing the Bartek’s, the Cernik’s, and the Clabaugh’s get together and dance, play cards, hear laughter and stories from everyone. I can only imagine the stories being shared now that they are all together. She was so sweet to me growing up. My God bless you all in this time.
