So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
Sure will miss our Family Friend and Jelly Man. Mom shared her water melon rind preserves recipe. They both made it so good Prayers for comfort and strength for you Linda and family!
Linda, I was saddened to hear of Dennis’s passing. During our time working the elections together we developed a good friendship. This helped to make the time go by faster. Through him, I met you. Every time I look at my “jelly jars” I will think of Dennis .You and your family are in my prayers.
