Jessica, Anita and I are very sorry to read about the death of your grandmother Eunice. I see she'll be welcomed by your brothers to. We are connected strangely by the death of Barney Futterer. I have many pages of Futterer family history in my Drendel Family history book. I'd love to show you anytime you're in our area. God Bless Eunice and y'all.
