Oh Dear Girls and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, Miriam. Your mother and father were so very, very proud of you both. I had the pleasure of working with them both at Holmes Oldsmobile. They both attended my wedding in 1994, additionally, they both taught me how to be a grown-up. Condolences and know that their spirit lives on in your present worlds.
Blessings,
Teresa Wettengel Doxsee

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. Take comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father will soon remove all pain, sorrow, and death forever! May this promise as recorded in Revelation 21:3,4 help you gain strength and inner peace to cope with the days ahead. (Philippians 4:13).

Aunt Miriam was a very special lady. I have so many memories from visiting her and Uncle Paul on the farm. She will without a doubt be greatly missed. Like I told Kristen, those 2 crazy sisters are up to no good together!
