OUR SYMPATHY TO JEAN, JOAN, PAT & DIANE AND ALL OF THEIR FAMILIES- We have all lost a very ‘special’ lady with the greatest smile . Each time I would visit her she was smiling and happy. You are all so lucky to have had her with you for so many years. Cherish your memories. Duane & Pat Lynch
My sympathy and prayers go out to all of the Adams family. I missed her today when I took communion to the nursing home. Helen was such a kind and helpful person with a beautiful smile. She always made sure I didn’t miss giving communion to anyone.
My grandma had the perfect combination of love and attitude. Her spunk kept us all on our toes and her kind heart made us all feel loved. Her life was full of ups and downs just like everyone else, but she approached every day with faith and awareness. So many memories of lasagna, cookies, sleepovers, trips to Charles City, playing cards, sticks of gum and hugs and kisses fill my heart with joy. Even though we cannot be with you now, you will always be with us. Dawn, Brian, Bailey, Madison & Isabella Lubbert
