Linda and Family, Bill and I are so sorry for your loss! Prayers for comfort!
Linda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences, sympathies and prayers for you and your family.
I remember Nora Sue from her visits with my grandmother, Ruth Regnier. I believe Nora and Linda grew up next to my grandmother on South Independence St (maybe?), so I was sort of familiar with both of them, but more so with Nora Sue, who came by more often to visit when I was there. I lost track of her and didn’t know she was in Connersville. Condolences to all the family.
Yes Risa we had some good times there on South Independence. Ruth would wash and dye yes dye her hair and l would pin curl it she would wrap it in a scarf. When it was dry she would call me and l would brush it out.
Our deepest sympathy in these difficult days. Wishing the family peace and comfort.
