I’m going to miss you so very much ole cuz
It is so hard to put into words the sorrow that we feel for your family, especially Mariane and Josh, our neighbors for more than half of our lives. We will miss our mailbox chats and road waves, and we will always hold dear our last phone conversation we had with him about keeping the pipes from freezing during the cold spell we had. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, now and always.
Sincerely,
Kent and Janine Schroeder
