So sorry for your loss.
I am Gilbert and Elvira Harms niece Jacky Amrhein. Myrtle was my mother and Elvira’s sister. And then my Sister Jill married Doug Harms, George’s
sons. My brother Charlie married Jean Kramer, Glady’s daughter. So, that is how I got to know your Mom. Always enjoyed the visit we had with her.
Myrtle my mother lived to be 101 and she was the last of the Originals (that’s what I like to call them). They both had a great run and have gone thru a lot in their lives. The stories I will always remember and the time spent with them.
