Condolence From: Pam Bedour
Dear Ron, Judy, Faye, Susan, Wendy and families, My sincere sympathy in the loss of your Mom. I have many fond memories of “Mrs. Oesch,” not only from my ZPS years, but also from Oesch family functions, and from playing softball with her many years ago. (I remember how impressed I was with her ball-playing ability!) More recently, I enjoyed chatting with her at the Rest Home. She always had a big smile for me! I know this must be a tremendously difficult time for your family. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Fondly, Pam Bedour and family
