You are forever in our hearts Mimi. Dollar- we love and miss you. You brought joy and fun to our family. Glad you are at peace and we know you are sharing your crafting skills with all of the angels up there.
Sissy-As long as I can remember you have always remained close to the Ward side of the family. You always kept in touch with-me-even when mom and Auntie Linda were gone. I loved getting your homemade cards and your notes! I had no idea this Christmas would be the last one I would receive. I remember as a kid most of our vacations were back to Afton/St. Louis and always loved stopping by the Brauer house. Fond memories being a bridesmaid in Karen’s wedding, family reunions and get togethers, with the boys and Karen. You will be missed.
Paul (Joe), John, Leonard, Karen and Russell – Love you all and will be praying 🙏 for you and your families.
With love, Jana Sue
