    John, Lee, Sue & Jan,
    I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you are going through. Theresa was a wonderful lady. She always spoke to me anytime she saw me. We had just talked at the Farm Bureau Dinner. She had told me how proud she is of her grandsons. How they all had grown up on their farm helping Grandpa out, and how they had each grown up and were doing their own thing now. She talked about how one grandson (don’t remember which one) had backed a wagon up in a very small area with no help from anyone, and that John had taught them how to do that and to do so many other things on the farm. She was SO proud! I’m going to miss her, but, not as much as all of you. I’ll continue to keep all of you in my prayers.

    Love, Prayers & Sympathy,
    Joann Tanner
