Fremont, Ne, NE Monday, June 1, 2015 What an elegant lady. Her sense of humor was delightful and her ability to softly talk to people about so many subjects. Her smile, disposition and love of God and life will forever be part of her legacy. She will be missed. My thought and prayers are with you family and friends.
