I will always remember coming to the Wisconsin Bluffs and having such a great time with all the Greaney family. Aunt Annie was the last of the wonderful Wendel family. Loved her! Bob Bomholt

Mary Anne (and family) was our friendly and welcoming neighbor when we moved to Cross Plains during the great ice storm of 1976. She was also a helpful, friendly banker and loaned us daughter, Betsy, to babysit our young daughter. Though many years removed from those days, they have always been a warm presence to this day.
