I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun. Of happy memories that I leave when life is done. Memorial services will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, September 22, 2023 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Red Hook, NY.
