December 29, 2020 at 5:06 pmThe world lost a beautiful woman inside and out. She will be missed deeply by all that came in contact with her.
May God’s peace, comfort and blessings be with her family as they grieve her loss.

January 1, 2021 at 8:13 pmWe knew Barb as Will’s Mom and Bob as Will’s Dad. Together they raised a thoughtful, caring son with a great sense of humor. Although we didn’t know Leanne well, we’re sure she has the same qualities. Caring for someone with dementia is extremely stressful. We hope you can take comfort knowing you were able to care for her with patience and compassion. Wishing you peace, Bob & Pat Fuehr
