Dear Chester, Mary and Family,
You and I went to Catholic School together and had our lockers in high school next to each other. I remember how you patiently helped me with the combination to get my locker open. You and I shared the same proudness and happiness of growing up on a dairy farm. I knew of your illness and saw your picture and article in the Marshfield
newsletter. You led a brave battle while you and Mary came to our 50-year class reunion. Was great to read about your life accomplishments. 1955 was the best year to be born! We’re neighbors again as our family cemetery lots are next to each other.
