Aunt Irma was loved and admired by many. She was a genuine and outspoken person,, with a great sense of style – qualities a niece would want to emulate. I will miss her.
We recently went to see Aunt Irma and she was thrilled to see us. It once again showed us what a kind and loving person she was.
We were blessed to have known her.
May she rest with the angels.
We loved Terri and enjoyed our long friendship with her and Dolph. Our sympathies to Cathy, Matthew and Ethan and to all her family. You are in our prayers.
Terri was such a wonderful person. We have always lived out of town but she was very
welcoming & loving when she would see us.
She will be with Dolph again &
rest in peace.
Aunt Irma helped us by our house. I will always remember the vacations her and Uncle Dolph brought me along on, probably because me and Jimmy begged them. She was driving that old Winnebago, we would be listening to some tunes on the state of the art 8 Track system in it. We would be singing along to Danny’s 8 Tracks of The Eagles Greatest Hits and John Denver. It was always a good time.
My sister and my best friend. I will miss you being by my side and remembering all the great adventures we had together, like driving the Winnebago to Branson with all the Real Estate girls and filling it up with all our purchases. The vacations we took will be among my favorite memories. I hope you are enjoying time with our brothers and sisters in heaven. Love you 🥰
I will always remember being with Terri on their boat.
She was a wonderful person and a joy to be with.
She also did a great job raising her family and she will be missed.
Terri and Dolph are together now in heaven in peace.
Deepest sympathy to the Kraus Family
