Deepest Sympathy to all in family. I knew your mother since I was married to Victor V. Crapp 61 years ago. She was a very hard worker. The last time I saw her was at a funeral for someone that she knew as well as I did. I am sorry that I cannot make to visitation or funeral as I am undergoing tests for myself on Monday. Take Care .

Mike, Dan & Jane: Our sincere sympathy to you and your families. Your mother was one of a kind. I remember so many times when she sat at my parents kitchen table, drinking coffee and having a treat. There was a lot of visiting and I especially remember the many laughs they would have. Your mother would laugh until she cried. I have such fond memories of our families getting together. We are unable to get to the memorial service but know that you are in our thoughts. Ann (Christensen) & Dave Baumgartner
