Sincere sympathies from the Jedinak Family. Alice always enjoyed Mildred's friendship. She would call and say " I need my hair bent Alice". They laughed the whole time the perm was being done! What a sweet heart she was. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Judy Jedinak Cornelius
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your mother. She was a wonderful lady. I called Dale to find out your last name, Linda, but he didn't know it. I moved to Bloomfield NY (9 miles from Canandaigua) to be close to my daughter & grandchildren. Have end stage COPD and am on oxyge 24/7. Think your last name is Stanzel & your phone is 467-8851. My phone is 657-4867.
