  1. I want to express my sympathy and prayers to all the family at this sad time. So sorry I missed the wake and funeral. We were out of town since last Thurs. Your mom was a wonderful lady and all of us from the Homemaker Agency loved her.
    God Bless.

  2. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. It is extremely hard when we lose a loved one. Know that she is in a better place and watching over you. Would have liked to have been there as she was there for my mom at the time of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

  3. My sympathy on the loss of your mother. She was a great lady, and that was a wonderful picture of her in the paper. I have wonderful memories of time spent at the Reihle house. Never did your mother question why we spent hours waving at the national guard on their way to Camp McCoy!
    May she rest in peace.
