To Jerry, Glenda, Mitch, Tim, and Sarah,
Our thoughts are with you at this time. So many memories…I remember the time Tim smashed a hole in the wall of the hotel room with his head at Roling’s wedding. Your mom was calm, cool, and collected…like it happened every day!
With Sympathy,
Terry and Renae Gruetzmacher
