The Schneider and Gardner families wish to extend their deep sympathy over Uncle Willie's passing. The memories of milk straight from the cow and the large family dinners with Uncle Willie at the head of the table will be forever etched in our minds. Playing in the barn and getting paid for how many mice we caught will always be a fond memory. Thank you from Fran, Cathy, Mark and our families for allowing us to be a part of your lives.

Sorry to hear of the loss of Wilfred Meier, I did not know him personally, but went to school with his children. I attended Prairie View School and Argyle Public Schools with them. I am one of the Gordon Olson Girls... My deepest sympathy to you all.
