Remembering Maxine

 May she rest in peace.

Unexpected and very sad news. Our condolences to her family. 

It's been a while since we have all been together. I hope all of you are doing the best you can in this trying time.

Take care and be well until we meet again.

Remembering Joan Iversen

 Tomorrow is July already. Covid restrictions are easing up somewhat and many of us have been vaccinated.

  There wasn't a retirement brunch this year, but this photo turned up in my facebook memories today.

Joan was a moving force in gathering retirees' contact information so we could start up our DEAR lunch group. We miss her. 

RIP Carol, Ed, and Jean

 We haven't met together in a long time and I hope that we will be able to meet again soon.

Sadly, I heard from Rosina that our longtime colleague, friend, and regular lunch group attendee, Jean Zensen, passed away a few days ago. 

Her obituary and services information is on the Weber Funeral Home website. 

She was a sweet person and dear friend who will be greatly missed, but always remembered.

Two other  Delran colleagues we have lost this month are Carol Shontz, Delran school nurse, and  Ed Hamlet,  teacher and wrestling coach. They both passed away on May 20th.

May they all rest in peace and we certainly offer their families our sincere condolences.

Verna Zelaney, May she rest in peace

 

Sadly, I have just seen and heard from multiple sources that Verna Zelaney passed away.

Here is her obituary.

She is remembered fondly and with admiration by all who knew her.

Vaccinated?

 2020 is over and I hope you are all doing well and have been successful in obtaining the vaccine or at least an appointment to get it.

I didn't realize how long it's been since last we met. 

John Kugler wrote to let me know the sad news about the death of  Frank Killino on March 22.  He and his family were quite a memorable part of the Delran community back in the day. I remember him fondly.

Here is his obituary .  Our condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

December 2020....looking forward to a better year

 No DEAR zoom this month, I guess. I miss you all and hope your holiday merrymaking is structured to keep everyone safe and healthy as we head into the new year.

Happy holidays! See you in 2021!

It's beginning to look a lot like.........

 Thanksgiving week-end continues. I don't know about you all, but I am still enjoying the turkey, stuffing, et al. (My Tom is a great cook!)

   Our November 23rd zoom was a good chance to see and catch up with some of our friends. While missing the rest of you, our thoughts are with you and hope to see/hear from you again one of these days.

   This is a photo of our most recent attendees:

Joanne Karwacki and Wilma Kaelin joined Marcia and me later. 

I just love seeing everybody. Miss you all!
