Jan, Shelly, Doug, and families,
On behalf of the Helen Zarr Family, we want you all to know the you are all in our thoughts and prayers each day. She lived a full life in her 105 years. Mom would have wanted to spend more time with her being they were so close, but age and distance prevented that from happening. Now the Bachmeier Family is down to three. Thank you, especially Jan, for all the time and attention you gave your Mom. You will be rewarded some day. Take care and God love all of you.
Julia was my best friends Mother and she was always kind and welcoming to me. She knew my dear Mother and family and I loved knowing she was still alive. Sending blessings to Shelly and the family. May Julia rest in peace!
Love and Prayers, Ranae Belford Holody
