Jim & Family So sorry to hear of your loss. I can still remember her in the alley of Park place yelling at the top of her lungs JAMES EMANUEL. The Brewers also lost a great fan. We will be out of town on the 25th but not sure we will be leaving that day so maybe will make it to the funeral home before we leave. Barb&Larry Swenson

My deepest sympathy to the entire Borgh family. Ardis, I remember our mothers sitting in the bleachers together during our high school football games. Your mom taught my mom everything she knew about football. My mother turned into an avid football fan and to this day loves her Packers. I have fond memories of spending time at your house, your mom was so kind. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Dana
