   We just heard from Lori yesterday that your Mom had
   passed away, and we saw the obituary in the Eau Claire Leader today. It is such a nice picture of her in that and
   here. We are so sorry we cannot attend either the
   visitation or funeral, being in Rochester with Amy
   Thursday evening and Friday. Although Mom is in a
   better place, it's still very hard to say good-by. Our
   love, prayers and deepest sympathies to all of you.
   Cherish the memories of good times with her.

   We were fortunate to get to spend time with Marion and her family at the PC Care Center. She was our mother's table mate and we used to have some very interesting conversations at meals.

   We will miss seeing her at the table but we know she is in a much better place and your folks can celebrate the bug anniversary party they were planning before his death.

   Hugs and prayers to the family.
   Sincerely,
   Kris and Dave Polzer
