I can’t even begin to tell you all the fun memories and laughter I had with your parents over the years. The evenings of our parents and their friends gathering on every Wednesday night for dinner are some of my best memories! And some of the funniest jokes and stories were always told by Himself and Herself! Dostie Jean made the best orange sweet rolls at Christmas and her love of quilts and art was only exceeded by the love she had for her children, husband and God.
My condolences to Bob and the family!
