Deb and Heidi: Sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was one fine lady and she and her dad were such a loving couple. Take care and my thoughts are with you.

Debbie and Family, My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of you mom, Lois. She was simply adorable and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to get to know her at Park Place Senior Living. We shared so many laughs and I will never forget how her eyes would sparkle with mischief! She probably loved winter more than anyone I ever met and was always joking about going ice skating, sleigh riding and out to make snow angles. She was a treasure. I am certain you have a lifetime of memories to treasure. I am truly sorry for your loss, and so happy she has been reunited with Peter. Lu Ann K. Bowman

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Mrs. Brayko; I did not know her well but do remember when the Brayko brother remodeled our Schuldt kitchen when brother Michael and I were in school in Platteville; it was quite the experience in those days (50s/60s) as Mom would cook on two burners and we would eat by the fireplace in living room...they were such gentlemen and enjoyed using their woodworking skills. My thoughts and prayers are with family; my father passed in 1949 and my mom in 2007. My childhood in Platteville was at a good time in our history and everything was very different...rest in peace, Mrs. Brayko. Respectfully, Carolyn Schuldt

So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She will be with those that have gone before her. I will never forget the Christmas tree up until Easter! She had a wonderful sense of humor. Very sad, blessings to you all.
