Ione’s parents were my Godparents and the families were very close for many years and we just loved Selma, Nels and their family and the families of their children. Feel so out of touch with this but so happy to learn about her children, sister and brother and the families.
My condolences to all of her family as she was a fine dedicated person.
Love,
Betty Nelson Rhoda Spokane WA
