We grew up by the Archibalds. You boys were older than us and probably don't remember us. We certainly remember your parents. We loved the wild raspberries in your backyard, such an interesting place. Also, your mom was always so kind to us whenever we peddled Girl Scout Cookies and other fundraisers.

Our mother and us girls saw her frequently at Beerman's. She was such a kind lady! Dad, Robert, visited with her just recently and enjoyed talking to her. He truly enjoyed their visit.

We are truly sorry for your loss. We are thinking and praying for all of you. The Rotterman Family
