There are so many fun memories of cousin Glessie & my late husband Dan Wekenborg – son of Ed & Dean Wekenborg. Last one to share is that the place they both ran into each other on a regular basis was Gerbes liquor dept because, as Glessie always explained, was the entrance she used to do her grocery shopping! Glessie & Dan we’re truly related as shown by their sense of humor. They no doubt are sharing a joke in heaven. Bless your family & celebrate her life. From Nancy Wekenborg & children Justin, Libby Lock & Kara Ready
