Many Thanks for Your Words of Encouragement

Thank you to the Genealogy Blogging community for the prayers, kind words, and good thoughts you have been sending to me and my family as we try to cope with the sudden loss of our son Joel. As genealogists, we value family so very much, and I appreciate your kindnesses immensely.

In Loving Memory

    Thanks for your kind words, Magda. My son and hubby and I all lived in Wood County at different times in our lives, when we were students at BGSU.
