    The Lorenz Family has our sincere sympathy in the passing of your beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was our neighbor for over 40 years there on Mormon Coulee Rd. She also painted a portrait of our home for us, it is proudly displayed now at our new home. So I’m thankful for her willingness to use her special gift of painting to do this for us. Blessed be her memory . Darrell & Jeanie Garner
