Dear Helen and Family,
Mother was so sad when she was told of Juker’s passing. Carol and I were planning to bring her to the service, but a health issue will keep us from personally expressing our deepest sympathy. You are all in our hearts and prayers.
Sincerely, Cindy Burger Pulver
Mrs. Haines, Jim, Bob, and Family,
My sincere sympathy on your loss of Pop. Over the years I have heard many, many stories of him. I know Lisa always treasured the wonderful relationship that Tom had with his dad. He was a very special dad, father-in-law, and grandpa. Maggie is deeply sadden that she is unable to be there at this time. She was deeply touch that Mum Mum gave him a loving kiss from her and told him that she loved him. My thoughts are prayers are with you.
Love,
Kathy Horning
