Gary, Angela, and Dan,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother and wife. It surely is a sad day for us all at the passing of someone so loving and caring as Schar. Growing up I enjoyed many great times with the family and have always had a heartily place of fond memories. Schar (and Dan) was the best at making me feel a part of the family in the many activities we did together and for me camping with them was the best (No one could make hobos like she could).
God's peace and love be with you all.
Ken Jostock and family.

Dear Danny,
We were so very sorry to hear of Schar's death, but relieved to know she is finally at rest and her valient battle is over. We wish we could be with you at this difficult time.
Just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. We are always here if you need to talk. I will always remember the good times we had when Schar would dance in the living room to 50's music and that crazy line dancing. She will be greatly missed.
Love you, Art and Jadeen
