Tributes

Peter and Katherine was such nice couple. My husband and I used to own the Poultry and Farm store in town. I truly enjoyed talking and visiting with them. I really missed them when they sold the farm and left. My prayers to all the family. They loved you all.

Steve & Nic: I am sorry that you have lost your mother. I really enjoyed getting to visit both you Mom and Dad on the farm from time to time. They were so happy and always made me so welcome. Although there will be a time of separation there will be a better day when our Lord and Savior comes to take us all home to be reunited with our loved ones. Until then I know the Lord will send you the Comforter. We all feel your sorrow and hope that you know that Katherine will be missed by all of us too.
