Oh, Ed! I am so sorry to hear of Carolyn’s death! She was a dear friend and bridge club member. I always thought the world and all of Carolyn and respected her expertise in nursing.
Mrs. Schuering was one in a million! She made all of her childrens’ friends feel loved like a part of the very special Schuering family.
So many wonderful memories growing up with Laura.
I know that both the Kunkel and Frohn families were blessed to have been a part of your lives.
All of our deepest condolences, love and prayers to your great family,
