Mike, Tony, Archie and extended family. My thoughts are with each of you as you go through these next days of sadness and celebration. May it help to know that your mother was deeply loved by many. We have been blessed to watch the friendship between your mother and mine, a long 67 years of friendship. So few are blessed in such a way. They were friends as girls and to the very end. I smile when I think of your mom working in her embroidery room and every time I use the towels she made for my wedding. I also smile every time I see a Sara Lee Bakery product! She will be missed and now, she is watching over all of you, with no pain and at peace. My thoughts and prayers to all of you, Laurie Logeman Senn
