Dolores was my very good friend in lac du flambeau. I miss her so much. We played dominos every Friday afternoon
Tom and Dolores were wonderful friends to me. They took me to all my medical appointments when I wasn’t able to drive myself. Even as far as Wausau for finger surgery. I know she is now with our lord and savior in everlasting peace

Sue & Dan, Karen & Dwight – You are in my prayers today. In spite of the joy of your mom knowing Jesus, this parting is difficult. Thank you for your kindness and friendship through the years. Although I never knew your mom, you folks have been a blessing to me.
