Geraldine Sooter

Sorry, I didn’t get this in sooner. I was the big fellow that ran around with Penny for a couple of years in Jr. high. Your parents were fine people. And your mom always seem to go out of the way to make people feel good. I remember one time when we were playing ball in the back yard and I got a hit. The only problem was it went right to the kitchen window and made a mess. I tried to get your dad to let me clean it up but he told me it would be alright and the game was over so I had better go home for supper. Later on your mom call to see if I was alright. She wanted to let me know that no one was mad at me. Made me feel a whole lot better. Over the years I lost track of Penny until my mom told me about her. My mom had kept in touch and did until she passed away. I do hope you all are doing well. May you have peace and comfort at this time, God bless you all.

To the Sooter Family, I want to send you my deepest sympathy on the loss of you Mother. I ran into her many of times at different garage sales and I attended her sales also. I even remember when my mother Dorothy Gunzelman and your mother had a garage sale at her house many many years ago. My husband and I went to visit them after a trip they made, I believe, to the Swiss Alps. We listened to their stories of their travels. It is sad to see this generation passing away. I feel like your parents were the corner stone of Volutsia street like my parents were the corner stone of Estelle. Your Mother and Dad were special people. I regret that I did not know of your Dad’s passing or I diffinately would have sent your Mother a card. May you find comfort that your parents are together. Sincerely, Darlene Menefee (Gunzelman)
