Memorial Service at Resurrection Lutheran Church 9907 Sappington Rd. 63128 on Thursday, December 21 at 10:00 am. Interment will be held in private. In lieu of flowers contributions to a charity of your choice appreciated.
Patricia, I am so sorry to read of the passing of your brother. I saw it in the newspaper and I hope I have the right family. My mother, Helen, and your mother, Mary, were good friends years ago. I remember visits to your home in the Bevo neighborhood when we were young. Our families had common friends in Bill and Helen Lougeay. I saw your mom years ago at a senior center and my mother and I went to her funeral. My mom passed away in 2021.
My condolences to you and your family and to your brother’s family. Losing someone is never easy but especially at this time of year when everyone is thinking of family gatherings and making merry. My thoughts are with you.
