Condolences

  1. To Bill & Liz and Family

    I am sorry for the loss of your mother. During my young years when they lived here in Hannibal she was a great comfort to me. When I had a problem, she would always help me to solve it as best we could. Nothing monumental, but still a great help and comfort. I will always cherish my memories of her as I know you love and miss her. My heart goes out to you. May God Bless you each one. Please keep in touch.

    Theresa
