Ted,
I’m kinda late but remember when we went for coffee every morning after we got the work crews started? We had our usual spot in the cafeteria and if by chance someone sat in our spot we didn’t know what to do.
Love ,Bill Bundy
Dear Aunt Ewa, I was sorry to learn that you lost Uncle Ted in July. We lost Jerry on August 18. One of the Shiffer girls contacted the funeral home to say the obituary was wrong because we listed Uncle Ted as a surviving Uncle. I wish you would have notified us so our family could be represented. If their is anything I can do for you, Please contact me. We are having a memorial service for Jerry on September 13 at 10:00 in Assumption Church.
Love Bob and Barbara Kreunen
