Remembrance
I am so sorry to hear this. Just saw him and Mae a few months ago. Sweet man. I remember when Mae and I worked at LaCrosse Sportswear in the 80s, I was having an issue with my wipers on the car. Went to their house and he fixed me up.
Mae and I am so so sorry to hear this. Sending prayers of comfort and strength to you. May God wrap His loving arms around you and your family help you all through this difficult time.
Love, Margaret
Mrs
Mae, I am so sorry to hear of Arthur’s passing. May sweet memories comfort you and give you peace. May God comfort you.
Heartfelt Sympathy
Arthur “saved me” at a dance years ago when an admirer was getting a little too friendly on the dance floor. Arthur could tell so he cut in and danced with me until the guy went away. I was always so thankful Arthur was there.
Rest in peace, ❤️
Brenda (1st cousin)
I love you Mae.
