Christa and family - Our deepest sympathy to each of you. Brett seemed so good last winter when we shoveled snow together out at Brown's. We always enjoyed being with you and Brett. We also appreciated his talents when he taught in the Newton system. He will be greatly missed. May God bless you. Carl and Jane Repp - Newton, Iowa
