Although we never met Louie or Butch, it felt like we had a bond through their incredible daughter, our “pseudo grandma” Carolyn! Carolyn spoke so lovingly of her parents and truly cherished her time with them. Hugs and prayers for comfort and peace to Carolyn and her family. We love you!!

Kathy , Mike and family. Sorry for your loss. Thinking of you
Our sympathies to the family. Your Dad was very “special”! You have had too many family deaths in a very short period of time. May God provide you with the peace and strength you need to get through the coming days. Love…….Jeff and Chris, Hiawatha, IA
I loved the way your Dad and Mom would greet us so warmly and sincerely whenever we would happen to meet them in the past. It is such a void in our lives when parents pass. But cherish the memories and know that he was respected and loved by many. Our sympathy to you all.
Love, Kenny and Susan Oler
Your parents were special people. We lived across the street from them as our children grew up. They were always so friendly and kind to our kids. We will always have those special memories. You are fortunate to have had such great parents.
