Randy and family, we were out of town and not here to share in your loss of your loved one. To Juice and Chad and Jackie , hold on to those precious memories of your grandmother. She looks so precious, and our boys may have met her but Gary and I never did. To Randy and Jan, I am sure that she left a foot print in both of your hearts as a mother and mother in law. Happy Mothers day to Grandma Boyes all our love The Zweifel's, Sheila, Gary, Paul and Zach. And Tucker too.
