Corrine & Duane,
Aunt “B” will be missed! My Godmother always made me feel special. She had a sense of humor I enjoyed. She had more energy and spunk than most! God blessed her with a long life, with plenty of special gifts along the way. May she and Albert, along with the rest of her deceased family and friends be reunited in heaven! May God bless you and your families at this time of loss.
Sincerely,
Mike

Corrine and Duane;
I am saddened and so sorry for your loss. I so enjoyed your Mom’s bright joy which I was able to see when I last spent time with her in May. She so loved her children and grandchildren as one could easily tell whenever speaking with her. I am truly honored to have carried her name as my middle name and I am so blessed as to have had her as my godmother. May you feel God’s warmth and blessings in your lives and in this time of loss.
With Love,
Marlene

Duane and Corrine,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families as you grieve Bernie’s passing. I have known your mother my entire life. It will be difficult to know that she is no longer there on the farm. I remember Bernie always liked to tell stories and there were always so many to share. I remember her unfailing optimism, her enthusiasm for life, and her laughter. She loved to laugh which was very contagious and engaging whenever you were around her. She loved the farm animals and the farm, the place where she was rooted most of her life. She and my mom thoroughly enjoyed each others company and could talk for hours in person or on the telephone. I only have very happy, positive memories of Bernie…she will be missed.
May you cherish your good memories of your mother.
Ollie Stocker
