The neighborhood won’t be the same without you.
Sue, Bob & the Aritt family, just letting you know we are thinking about you at the loss of your aunt, Delphine. Take Care.
Bernice,
Oh my goodness…what can one say when you lose someone so dear. You were so blessed to have such a wonderful sister. I absolutely loved seeing and talking with you both.
I am no longer working at Lundeen’s in Cokato…but am working at Becker Furniture World in Becker now. My schedule did not allow to come for the visitation or funeral. Please know that I was there in thought and prayer.
You are so special…as was Delphine!!
