Thoughts and prayers :pray::skin-tone-2:
We extend our condolences for your loss. Just for the record…my Mother and Floren’s Mother were first cousins. When Floren and I were growing up, our families would often get together for visits or special occasions. But for many years after we grew up, we didn’t see each other. However, about 5 years or so ago, I found Floren’s phone number and we enjoyed visiting at least once a week. We have lived in Texas for over 30 years now. Two years ago during one of our trips to Iowa, we met Floren for the first time in well over 50 years. We also met his son for the first time and Craig’s wife and Floren’s grandson. I will always remember Floren for his friendliness and his generosity. He will be greatly missed. Ralph Feuchtwanger and family
Craig, Audrey and family, You have my deepest sympathy. Hold tight to those memories that you have shared with your Father. Nancy Foelske

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.
