To all of my cousins and their families-
I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Marie''s passing. I didn''t have the opportunity to know her or any of you very well at all. I wish that wasn''t true. I hope you feel as I do. Your mother is now with her mother and father and my mother, Uncle Don and Uncle Bob. All are at peace now, with no pains, worries or sadness.
I hope that brings you a sense of peace.
Your cousin - Jeanne

To Dale and his family,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mother''s passing. She was a GREAT gal! There are so many memories, especially of her playing cards with my Mom and "the girls". They always had so much fun, and Marie will always be remembered for that wonderful laugh.
Peace be with you and yours,
Jane (Cord) Crady

To the whole Kesterman family--
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in good memories and in knowing how much others care. I have good memories of Marie from when we bowled on a bowling team together way back. We had a great time. She was one of the sweetest people I''ve ever known and I loved her great smile. I remember good times at the farm. She was always so welcoming and nice.
Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers,
Bonnie Tragesser
