I loved how Aunt Mary Lou's face lit up when I came to say hello to her! Unfortunately lately it has been at funerals of family members when I saw her last. She had the sweetest smile and her eyes just lit up! My heartfelt condolences to the whole family on behalf of Karol, Karrie and Katie (Rake) Larson.

It's hard to lose a mother, and I extend my condolences to this vibrant family that I grew up with in Horicon. I played football and baseball with the boys and worked at the Flyway as one of my first jobs. I hope to see Pete again when the music plays this summer. Stephen Macheel
