  1. Hello to all my Schippers relatives I was 6yo and the 1st grandson I remember going out in the backyard to play with older girl cousins I kind of hung in the background and let them lead the activities…..besides girls were pretty much add lines compared to a farmboy with just Brothers. Merle’s was always so kind….seeming to understand my social plight Clarence was always a straight up direct communicator and Merle seemed to bring it all together My sincerest condolences William(Billy) Meysing-Alice Schippers son

  2. Dear Eileen, Susie, Ramona and Carol, I was so sad to hear about the passing of your mother! What a gracious, lovely lady she was! You are all in my prayers. Roberta Holzman Cox
