Donna and family, there is a sadness in tears, however they are not a mark of weakness but of power, they speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are messages of overwhelming grief, they are your tears for Gregg of unspeakable love You are all in our prayers and thoughts. Bob and Valerie Kachlic
Thank you so much for taking the time to look this up. We are at our first lodunramat and they have free Wifi. I learned something new about concrete and asphalt. Thanks! How are you doing? What is Scott up to for work these days? Brooke is making friends at the lodunramat. It appears that Zoe is a popular name in Minnesota and North Dakota too. We will be crossing the border soon. I hope we can find Wifi as readily. Take care!
