My deepest sympathy for all the family.
Aunt Elma was one of a kind. I had alot of fun with her.
I'll never forget her kindness when my Mother was ill.
She was there everyday.
I just know that they are altogether now laughing alot
and watching over us.
I am sorry that I couldn't make it for the funeral.
Love to all of you,
Linda

Dear Dianna, Michael, Dan and Bill,
It is with great sadness that I heard of your mother's death. She was a wonderful and fun loving person that I will miss. I am so glad that we were able to spend some quality with her and Mary Ann in 2008.
We visited her at her apartment and went all over the area including Wiota with them. We had a lot of laughs and many remembrances of the "good old days". She carried the Yurich banner proudly and I am glad that even though her health suffered in recent years; she was upbeat and happy. I know that she was so proud of all of you and your kids.
I wish the miles were not so great so that I could be there to honor her life with you.
Rest assured that she is already with your Dad in Heaven. I wonder if they will let them have back to back TVs.
Love and warmest condolences,
Cousin Chuck Blacksmith and Terri
