My prayers and sympathies go out to you all, Debbie, Cheryl, David and Mrs. Whipple (Winnie). I just saw this as I don't get on FB anymore. Where did the Madison Press go? HAHA. I am so so sorry to hear about your dad and husband. I am so blessed to have known him. I always like him. I remember back to staying overnight at your house all through school years. How your parents ever put up with us making all that noise down in the basement till the wee hours of the morning. 🙂 Then, I would see them at Old Fashioned Days every year and they would always remember me as we stood and talked for awhile. I am so glad, Deb, that I stopped over a few years ago at their celebration (I think an anniversary?). I was so impressed and how good your parents both looked. I remember thinking how blessed you were to have them still in your life. I lost mine so long ago. What a blessing parents are. Each time I drive by their house, I wave and say a silent hello. Your dad will be deeply missed by so many Madisonites. My prayers are with the whole family for peace, comfort, understanding and wisdom. I am so sorry for your loss. Love to you all, Ronnie Bennett (Leimbach)
