Brian, Kimberly, Bob, & family,
We’re so sorry none of us were able to make it to Linda’s service today. We had hoped at least one of us could make it — but you’ve been in our hearts & on our minds since we first saw her obituary on the funeral home’s website. Mom recently moved to a new memory care facility and is still getting adjusted to the new setting; short trips away from the facility have resulted in anxiety on her return, so it would’ve been tough to bring her as well. Please be assured of our love, thoughts, and prayers in the loss of dear Linda as well as the loss of Phil. May they be rejoicing with Uncle Fred, Aunt Judy, and the rest of the Buscher clan! Sending much love — and our apologies — from your “Kokomo cousins”!
Rita (McEntee) Jansen and family… Andy, Theresa, Mark, Chuck, & Amy
(P.S. — One of the photos in Mom’s room is a picture of the cousins of that generation! ❤)
