I’m sadden to hear she passed away. She was a sweet lady and always had a smile, I enjoyed visiting her when I lived in Otsego at Alamo nursing home. She is now with Bob ,who she said she truly missed, so rest in peace now, you will be sorely missed.

Sorry to hear about this. I really liked her a lot. She was so nice and sweet. I got to know her when I did her hair in Plainwell, she was my cousin, she was so much like her mom.

So sorry for your loss. Getting to know Gary and Bob so much better as my helpers in construction projects, I would hear many good stories about our families growing up in Watson.
