I’m so sorry guys for your loss of your mother. Cherish all the good times, memories, and tell them to your children. All the stories will be repeated and she will live on in your hearts.
My loving Aunt. I wish I could have spent more time over the years with you. Always a smile, that let you know she loved you. I will miss you ❤️
On behalf of the Dresner family, a donation was made in Don Sr’s name. My deepest sympathies.
Joan was an integral part of our ladies’ group called the Daring Dames, and she was lively and SO beautiful when we gathered over root beer floats just ten days before she passed. Joan will be greatly missed. I’m praying for her children, grands, and greats at this very difficult time.
Don, Angie & family, Sending love, peace and prayers your way. Love, The Wrights
Gail and Ann,
Prayers for you and your family at this time. May God hold you and your family in the palm of his hand and may you be filled with his love and compassion.
Peace and Love
