Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To the Laurene Dicke family. We are very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother & Grandmother..You have our prayers & sympathy. Sorry we will not be able to be at any of the services. We will be thinking of you. Lloyd & Hannah Dicke
Deepest sympathy to Laurene’s family from far distant cousins, Melvin and Della Shafer, who have tried to keep up with all of our extended family. Melvin and Laurene have a common connection with the WATKINS family. Melvin’s grandparents’ obituaries mentioned cousins Will and Jane Watkins, Jennie Tibbetts and Edith Louthan. In spite of the remote connection, we feel a family loss, too.
