I have no words. Viv, Dan and I are devastated. The two of you have been such an inspiration to us as a married couple, and such good neighborly friends. Jerry was a joy to talk with, we shall miss him terribly. Please let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do.
Vivian, John and I are very sorry for your loss. Cherish your many special memories.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, Vivian. Prayers with you. (Previous Fargo Forum Carriers)
