Please accept my heartfelt condolences to your family. God’s word promises that He will bind up the broken-hearted.
To the Braam family, Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the passing of your mom. What a lovely photo of her. I remember her as a young and vibrant mom. There are many fond memories of our childhood days on 38th and Cuyler. The luau parties our parents had in the early 60’s. I remember your mom pushing a baby carriage when Janet was an infant. It had a mosquito net on it. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Marilyn Spaniak Hager
