Fremont, NE Sunday, January 10, 2021 If it weren't for PEO, I would not have had the opportunity to meet Aileen. She was a true gift as a Sister and I loved to be around her. She had the cutest personality and was such a wonderful addition to our group. I am thankful for the times I was around her.Shelley EVans

fremont, NE Thursday, January 7, 2021 Sweet Pete, took the wind outta my sails this morning to read of the passing of one of the great ones. Glad to know she is with her heavenly father singing in the BIG CHOIR up above! Great memories make me smile and tear up as I run thru them this morning in my head, a sweeter girl I do not know, always with a ready smile, quip, and compliment. So Red, rest well, save me a place in the choir upstairs I look forward to it, you'll make one heck of angle. See you later sweet girl. thanks for all the fun. MacVirginia Bader Dunn
