Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Hi family, This is more than late, but my condolences. I am Eric Rouse’s mother, Barbara Friesen, Helen Keenan Friesen’s daughter. Eric was very saddened after the fact when he learned of Margaret’s passing. He thought a lot of her and mentioned her often. I am just sorry that nobody told him because I know he would have enjoyed meeting with the family. Your mother was a beautiful young woman. I don’t see much family anymore. Janice, I fondly remember that summer of long ago in Wichita! Barbara
Janyce, I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you during this time. I remember your mom and dad’s hospitality to me one night long ago. Your mom was a very sweet lady. Would love to hear from you. Love, Patti
