George and family; Our sincere condolences at the loss of Rose. Always remember you and my Dad (Elmer) when you delivered milk for Twin Ports Dairy and evenings and events together. Rose was always full so of cheerful and smiles. Not long ago I came across and old photo my mom had of you two and remembered how much they enjoyed being with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Bob and Bea Wilbur, Albuquerque, NM

Dear June, Please accept my condolenses on the loss of your mother. I will always remember her as the sweetest lady one could ever have the priviledge of knowing. Memories of the living quarters above the refidgeration shop bring a smile to my face. As years go by we lose touch with our childhood friends but at times like these we remember them fondly. May your memories bring you peace. Sincerely Carol (Jerome) Sislo
