   My most sincere condolences to Susan, Kim and Jeff for the loss of your mother. I would also extend this message to the entire extended family.
   While I was advised that Arvilla had relocate north to the Menomonie, WI area a while ago, I was not advised of a mailing address.
   She was a open and warm personality. My initial introduction was over 50 years ago. While the in last couple decades I've only had limited contact, but will always remember her personality and the high values she and Darrell ingrained in her children.
