Bowman, ND Friday, May 10, 2019 We are sending tons of love and hugs to all of you!!! I have great memories of the special times when Johnny & Jeri would come to the farm for a visit.Of course we always felt like we had an extra Big Brother with Johnny
When I sit quiet I can almost hear Jeris giggle and the way she would take everything in but then Bam when she would throw a BS flag down especially on Johnny! I really have a soft spot in my heart for her and all of you! How she LOVED her girls and family.
