From: "Edward L. Seufferlein"
For those of you who helped donate for the
flowers and Memorial for Jean Ann:
Enough monies were contributed that it
paid for the flowers and also a $155 memorial.
As per family instructions I sent it off this AM on behalf of the
Cedar Falls Class of 1954..
The American Cancer Society will send a
card to Jean Ann's husband stating this.
The above Thank You note I received last
week on behalf of the class for the flowers.
I thank you that helped in this.
