Desert

I hold on to the memories of places we went to eat and the conversations afterward. One memory that will last a long time was driving from Deitsch Eck in Lenhartsville (after a full meal) to Herman's in Topton for soft Strawberry ice cream for desert! Always a fun time with friends.   So sorry for your loss Arlan and family, she will be missed.

This lady...

When I first met you many many years ago... I have to admit I was very intimidated by you. Over the years of being friends with your daughters that feeling went away... you where definitely a sweet sweet lady, one that I was never afraid to just give you a hug. I had no idea you were sick and non the less my heart was heavy and tears rolled down my face when I saw the news.. Rest In Peace lady.. I’ll make sure I give those two little stinkers some extra love.
