John, Mike and the rest of the Thiem family.. I very sorry to hear about your loss. This loss touches me in more ways that one, my mom and your mom went to school together. Your mom was always so fun to be around, always laughing. I remember our Bulldog days like it was yesterday. You all are in my prayers!
To all the family of Frances:
Seems like yesterday we were all kids playing together on Calagna Rd. We were blessed to have had the Questeds as neighbors so many years ago. I always refer to them as my Italian sisters. Memories never leave and I will forever hold those precious memories in my heart. I know Frances will be missed by so many people. May God’s peace and comfort hold you all in His hands.
Love,
Darla (Heckendorn) Hillman
