My deepest Condolences to the family of a dear friend from awhile back. Nancy & I worked together at Medical Assoc. she also lived right down the street from one of my brothers and would visit her when back in Wisc. We kind of lost touch over the years but have very fun, fond memories of such a beautiful couple and good friend. She was a very special lady and now will be with her beloved Patrick. May she rest in Peace. Carol Mertens & family
