Dear Family of Dorothy Zumach. We are so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. We were not aware that she was not doing so well. I seems like it’s been a long time since we saw or talked to her. Since we have been living up north at the lake for a number of years, we didn’t get back home to see relatives often.
I was in Louis and Dorothy’s wedding a “few” years ago.
You have my sincerest sympathy at this time. I remember a lot of years ago that we had some fun times visiting with both folks. Time can only heal your sad hearts, just do remember the fun times you had for many year’s.
We will not be able to attend the funeral as we had plans made for that day. All our best to the family.
Arden and Shirley (Boller) Klitzke.

Hey Deb. Sorry to hear about your mom. As I’ve driven by your home place I remember us sitting at the table eating those delicious rolls! I remember your mom sunbathing out in her bikini in the backyard & how she’d sometimes drive us to corn detassling taking all the backroads cuz she didn’t have a drivers license then! We had a good life with parents who worked hard to care for their families. We were blessed to have had them in our lives. Your family’s in my thoughts & prayers
