Posted Condolences:
Steve and Avis,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I have such fond memories of visiting with your mom, especially when she lived out on the farm with Deb and Marge. I always admired her strong spirit and independent character. I remember the last time I saw her. She was still living by herself in her house in Rugby. I stopped by to say hello during one of infrequent visits back to ND and she seemed so pleased by my visit. We spent much time admiring her paintings as I had no idea of her talent in this area. I hope these pieces of art help you keep your mother and fond memories of her close.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Love, Kristy Skaar (2nd daughter of Gordon and Peggy Skaar)
