I have certainly missed our old neighbour in Pinedale Subdivision.
Feby was a kind, gentle lady who always had time to chat
with neighbours. I still to this day think of her when I walk by her house daily. It will always be Feby’s house to me.

It has been many years since I have seen Feby but I spent a lot of my childhood years at The Van Praet home and have many memories of Feby and the rest of the family. I had many sleepovers and many meals with them.
Feby taught me one of the finer things in life. Corn syrup and butter mixed together and then dip my bread in it. As a kid I thought I had gone to heaven.
What a long and wonderful life she had. She will certainly be missed. I have often thought of her over the years.
I send my heartfelt condolences to all of the family. May this time together be a time of healing and peace as you share your memories of an amazing woman and a life well lived.
With affection,
Susie Wilson (Schlegel)
