Dave & Kathy Larson says:
It’s hard to find the words to express our sorrow in Deb’s passing. I so remember the many camping trips to Door County, sitting around the campfire talking, singing to Tom’s music and having a few beers. Then we all “grew” up and started hanging out at the “cabin” and enjoying July 4th parties there. Your Mom always had a big spread of food on the table and she never sat down, taking care of everyone’s needs. She will be dearly missed as she was loved by all.

Amy. I worked with your mom and you at G & H. She was a hard worker and always happy and joking around. So sorry for your loss. Your parents bought their appliances from my husband.
