Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Thank you for the beautiful and gracious note, my dear mother. You'd want to know that dad had suffered from Alzheimers for some years before his passing. In the late 80s I spent a wonderful day at Ingolf with the Sneesby relatives you remembered so well. I took a boat across the lake and as I approached the cottages I heard one of them yell, "That must be Bill's girl!" I look so like him. I'm thinking of you, mom and dad, William and Carol-Anne, in this Christmas season. I'm thinking of others with whom dad and I share blood and history. Thanks for the skates, father. May you find God's grace, and peace. Kimberly - Posted by: Kimberly Bate (Daughter) on: Dec 19, 2019
