Ken and I are sorry we can’t make it to the memorial, as we both are still working. We live by Centreville with a Sturgis address on a beautiful lake with a son and daughter and 3 grandchildren after 43 years!
We remember you all, and thinking of you today. Our deepest sympathy to you in losing both Doris and Bob so close together. Ken’s parents have passed away, but Bob and Joyce Graham are doing well inYuma, AZ and send their condolences and have great memories of your parents. May The Lord bless yoou all. Sherry
