Condolences for

Dear Jim, I was so sorry to read about your mom's death. I have so many wonderful memories of Ben and Marian Ford when we were over- the-fence neighbors! Jack and I both learned many things from them. I'm praying for you during this sad time. The Knothe Family has made a contribution to the Jack Knothe Golf Scholarship at Viterbo in memory of your mom -- I know how she loved to golf. Love, Eileen Knothe

Hi Jim, I was sorry to hear of your mom's passing and yet know she had a very fulfilled life. She was such a nice woman! I have very vivid memories of her when I was a little girl -- I can just see your mom and dad and how they would always welcome us into their home! When I think back, I'm not sure why we would just go ring their doorbell and want to sit on their porch but we LOVED going over to their home!! We always felt special. Your mom told us about joining a "garden club" and it was so fun -- I remember planting marigolds for the first time! It was very cool living next door to "the librarian" and so fun to go to "story hour" and know the "teacher"!! Thinking of you during this time of loss. Terry Knothe-Lash
