Memorials
Obituaries can be entered by you at the time of an initial Memorial entry, or later, by emailing a copy to Karen at karenstenback@gmail.com and it will be added for you.
Tributes and pictures can be entered by anyone at any time. There has been some recent difficulty with adding pictures from the newspaper, but that will hopefully be fixed, soon.
* If you have added a tribute and you do not see it on the site, please write one again. Some of the entries had to be reformatted and your tribute may have disappeared.
To see an obituary with the picture that accompanied it, first click on Read Obituary and after that screen comes up, click on Read Tribute, and the picture will come up.
I want to especially thank Sara Turngren Lohaus for her efforts in finding classmate information for this section.
