Message: Dear Family,
I am sorry to learn of your mom's passing. I have often thot of her thru the years & wondered about all of your family. We *loved the items at the bakery & would go there daily while waiting for mom at the Zink Music & Western, til 6 pm stores closed. There probably wasn't a day that went by that we didn't run across the street & get a goodie bag full. She was so faithful to her bakery. Her yard was always so kept. Visiting grandparents across her street, I always noticed her pretty flower gardening & crisp white house. Her memory lives on in all our hearts, as we have all been touched by her faithful diligence. May your hearts be comforted, knowing you have had a great heritage. My sincerest sympathy ~
