Condolences for Shirley Carpenter

From: Berna Bakken
I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Shirley passing. I have many fond memories of fishing ( the Appleton spillway, and yes they were carp not walleye, and I was afraid to tell her the truth ) and eating her home maid cinnamon rolls. I will be thinking about you all.
