Kurt, Brent, Kelly and Harry Family – I was sad to read of your Mom’s passing. I remember the trips John and I made to your parent’s home - John yakking with Don and Kathy always trying to feed us. Blessings to you all – you’re in my thoughts and prayers! You can always tell where a beautiful soul has been by the tears and the smiles left behind. Marie Bornitzke Psalm 23
