We are so sorry for your loss Tom & Lisa. We will keep you in prayer.
Steve & Will and Rumbaugh Family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Wish I had the right words, but I don’t. Just know I care.
I’m so sorry on the loss of your loved one…may your memories bring you peace in the days to follow.
So sad to hear of Susie’s passing. She was my niece by marriage but also one of my first very dear friends when I married her Uncle Robert. Her uncle and I were among the first to be introduced to her daughter Jennifer after she arrived in Wooster from Korea and she and her Uncle Robert were somehow able to communicate right away without a common language. It was also a delight to have Jennifer in the WCA dance program and later also to have Susie’s beautiful granddaughter Katie Rumbaugh help us light up the stage. I made a trip to Wooster a couple of years ago and Susie, Maddie and I had a delightful lunch together. So happy to have these memories. Deepest condolences to Jay, Maddie & Tim and Skylar; Pete and Margo and children and grandchildren; Tom and Lisa and children and grandchildren; Michael & Betty and family; Steve and Will.
