Condolences
The family of Wesley “Wack” Mross has received the following condolences.
Our sincere thoughts and prayers go out to your family. We only got to know Wes & Geri in about the past 10 years but it only took one meeting to love them! We met through activities at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. They both had such a great sense of humor and joy in living. They were great role models for faith, marriage and family values.
Sandy and family,
My mom and I are thinking of you at this time. My mom was sharing memories of your dad and mom.
i remember all the New Years Eve parties.
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Betty J and Linda
Wesley is been my favorite patient at the NE dialysis, his smile and conversations we had will be greatly missed.
Was so sorry to hear about your dad. I have many fond memories of the fun times our families had when we got together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you say goodbye today to an amazing dad. Brenda and Scott Meier
Dear Sandy & family,
I was so shocked to see your Dad's obituary as I had just seen him and had a nice visit when he came in for his second cataract surgery. He looked good and seemed in good spirits. I am glad I had a chance to see him. He told me about your RV life. I am so sorry for your loss. I will be working so unable to attend his service tomorrow but will be thinking of you then.
Take care,
Rita (Sell) Marquardt
My sincere sympathy to you and your family,Sandy. I have fond memories of the good times Gene and I had with Wack and Geri. I'm sorry I won't be able to get to the funeral as I am out of town. Take comfort in your memories. God bless.
