Our deepest sympathy to you, Virgil, and all of the family.
Thoughts are with you and family at this time.
Remembering our visit at Great Grandparents Funk’s homestead farm near Milbank. Our prayers and thoughts are with Virgil and family.

I remember Aunt Theresa’s 100th birthday celebration giving us an opportunity to have the big family gathering in Rockford. It was memorable for me and I remember Maryanne and Virgil being there. Theresa had written many letters and one was about how cute Maryanne was as a baby when she was staying with Lucy and Joe to help with the children..So sorry for your loss!
Thinking about our nice visit with Mary Ann and Virgil when we cousins got together at the
Peschong farm. I will miss Mary Ann’s Christmas letters. She was a nice lady and will be
dearly missed. Our sincere condolences to Virgil and family.
Remembering all the times our paths have crossed over the years. When we were little the picnics at grandma and grandpa’s farm in Grant Co. When we were old seeing Mary Ann and Virgil here in Rockford celebrating Aunt Theresa’s life. Our last get together was at the Peschong farm. Sorry Judy wasn’t there. We’ll miss the Christmas cards and letters Mary Ann always wrote. She was a special cousin. Our love and prayers be with you all.
