Barb, Judy, Ryan & Danielle,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I happened to be in Columbia & Millstadt that weekend & spent the night with Marion. I am so sorry that I was not able to offer my sympathy in person, but my thoughts & prayers were & still are, with you. God bless all of you.
Maurice was always ready and eager to talk farming (or perhaps trade a Lloyd Schneider story) with me whenever the extended family got together. I'll remember those conversations and his friendliness with great fondness!
Barb, I am so sorry. I just heard. Although I did not know him that well, I know you were good good friends with Phyllis and Charlie. May you find peace in knowing that you will see him in heaven along with Phyllis and Emmy and all our loved ones. My sincere sympathy.
