Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Les Alder was my great uncle, my grandmother's younger brother. He was a warm and loving man who always welcomed us when we visited Manhattan camp. Just this last January he called my grandma on the phone (she passed away in March), and he was still so with it in conversation about old memories and things going on in his community. May he rest in Jesus' care. I'll always remember him. - Posted by: Jillian (Great Niece) on: Jul 24, 2024

  • My heart felt Condolences to Carole and Mike, Lynn and Larry. Thinking of you both. - Posted by: Kathy Keselowsky (friend) on: Jul 20, 2024
