Bill, Gennie and Harriet; Your mother was a very special person who was always upbeat and willing to help with anything. I remember her dedication to our Cub Scout group and putting up with all of us. When I was back in Wooster from time to time and attending church, she was always upbeat and glad to see me. She is with Earl again and now with God. God bless all of you.
