  1. Stanley Groth
    To: Gary, Joyce, and family . . . We want you to know that you and your family are in our prayers during this time of loss. Losing a parent is a very difficult time in our lives. I recall with fondness from years gone by how your mom would come to the "Grunke Olympics" and always make an effort to talk to us. She would ask us what Stanley was doing and how my volleyball team was going to be. She was thoughtful and kind. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of transiiton for your family. Take Care, Stanley and Jean Groth.
