Diane and Warren,
So very sorry for your loss. She was a such a sweet, wonderful lady! She is now hanging out with angels! We will keep you in our prayers. Love, Ralph and Kelly Kroll
My sincere sympathy to your family. I worked at the Hi-Ho and she was a very nice person.
Dear Dianne, Walter and family, I only ever met you once and that was back in 1989. I was a Rotary Exchange student from Sydney, Australia. You Mum and Dad were so generous with their time and gave me a place to call home for the first part of my year in Willard. It was to be one of the most memorable years of my life. I was so glad that my own mother was able to meet Esther a number of years ago when I returned to Willard. I have many wonderful memories of my time with your parents and they always spoke so proudly of you both. What a Blessing to know she is now with our Lord and Saviour!
Love to you all

I am so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing but know she is with the Lord. She was a wonderful lady and so much fun. I have such wonderful memories growing up at your home.

My thoughts and prayers to you , Diane and Wally. Love, Jolynn
