Know you and your family our in our prayers.
I remember the good times we had at Silver Lake.
Always though you are more funny then the kids did..
They still talk about the flying saucer rides across the frozen
Ice and how hard you laughed about their long walk back.
Rest in peace. You will be missed.
Donna Eckert Potteiger and family..
