Pam Rollie and Family
My deepest Sympathy at this time at the loss of your Mom.
It is so hard when we lose a parent. Especially a Mom.
Alzheimers is one of the toughest diseases that a loved one has to endure.
My Dad suffered from Alzheimers and it as they say: a loss of self.
Finally now your loved one is with her husband Ernie.
All my love, Cindy Youngquist

I will always remember the trips Lornie and I took to see Pam and Rollie. She was fun to travel with and we always enjoyed the flea markets, she loved to buy watches. The trip where Phil and Maryann came out was a good week. We all went shopping across the border and had such a fun week. She always had her hair and make up just perfect and looked so nice. I think that was one of the first signs she was getting sick when she wasn't as particular about her clothes, etc. Now she is at peace and not suffering any more. She will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, I have many fond memories of Lorene and she always made me laugh. No matter how long I would go without seeing her she always made me feel welcome in her home, She truly was everything a Grandma should be and she will be missed by all who knew her. I am praying for comfort for you family. I think of you all often and you are always in my prayers.
With Sincere Sympathy
