We are sending all our love to Uncle Al, Catie, and Natalie - and to their families. We will miss Aunt Brenda so much. She was always so kind to buy special treats for the kids - always knowing the berries and fruit they would enjoy. She is also famous for her special 4th of July jello salad. Her love of music was evident in everything she did, and she shared that love with her family. She was a beautiful person, and we will miss her.

Mrs. Azinger was a beautiful and wonderful person. I was a student in her class at Central Jr. High, where she was always smiling and energetic. Mrs. Azinger touched many students lives and helped us to appreciate music. Our prayers are with her family and know she will always watch over you all.
