My deepest sympathy Chris and family. Your sister Ingrid and your parent were very special people to me. The last time I saw your parents together was in the parking lot of the Rushford grocery store! We had a great visit. Many years ago now.
You have been a wonderful daughter to them and you were an especially sweet little sister to Ingrid.
Your Dad was also the sweetest man I ever met!
I’m sorry for your loss. Your mom, I’m sure, knew, felt and appreciated your faithful love and support these past years.
