It was many years ago that we, the Beyer family spent lots of time together with the Janke family and although time goes by as life happens, memories shared stay with us to recall over and over again. On behalf of Wilf, Trudi, Curt and Betty-Lou we share in your sorrow of his passing.
Prayers and condolences from Gordon & Lavonna Trenchie 🙏🏻
