So sorry to read about your loss. I remember your mother well, a classy lady. My sincerest condolences to all of you.
I remember seeing your Mom and many of you across the street at Mrs. Peik's across the street from our house in Renville. We appreciate Randy calling Diane and trying to get in touch with Mom (Harriet Mueller) to let us know about your Mom. Our prayers are with your whole family.

Thinking of all of you at this time of your loss. When I would call Randy about hunting and your mom answered the phone, she would know who I was without asking. Sometimes I would talk to her more than Randy. I thought that was pretty cool. It made me feel kind of special until Lindsay told me I was the only one that ever called Randy. Kidding aside, You are all in my prayers.
Take Care,
Steve
