Hello Dan, Bev, and rest of family. I just wanted to send my condolences and say that I will always remember Bert and Bina as good neighbors from my childhood. I wish your families the best and I am sure Bina is happy to be reunited with Bert once again. Matt.
I’m very sorry to hear about Mrs. Schaefer’s passing. I know the Lord is taking care of her now and she’s having many happy reunions today.I remember her and her husband at the Thoenen family Christmas get-togethers and how much fun and cheer they both brought with them. I know they both are greatly missed.
Bev, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. She and your dad were always so friendly I saw them at the doctor’s office. My thoughts are with you.
Bev,Dan and family, Bina was a very special person to our family. We always enjoyed visiting with her and talking about old times. It was always special to go hunting and bring her a couple of young grey squirrels to cook. We knew she liked them and it was a special treat for her. I know it always brought her comfort having her loving daughter and family close by. I know she is at home in heaven reunited with Bert.
Bev,I was so sorry to hear about your mom. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.Brenda
