We’re so sorry to hear of Goldie’s passing. She was always such a sweet, beautiful lady. I know you will all miss her so much. I would be at the funeral, but I have a doctor’s appointment at that time. Prayers for all of you.

To Uncle Rudy and Family,
As a child I spent time with your entire family in Peace Valley. It is something that I have never forgotten, and have always appreciated. Riding Patsie, eating frogs legs, unpasturized milk,leeches (yuck)and chasing the neighbors bull back home…and of course the daily chores that everyone was assigned. I had some too! As a helper of course.
And of course Aunt Goldie! She was the center of everything. May she be at peace. My love to you Uncle Rudy, Deb and Sandy. Love, Patty
