Our deepest sympathy to the Schonoff families.
We had our best life renting from Urban and Rosalyn.
We enjoyed playing Euchre with them and they were so great to our kids.
May you rest in peace Rosalyn.
Chip and Julie Chapman & Family.
I met Rosalyn when she and Urban lived on Rocky Hill. The in-laws moved to Minnesota and we had a few cows. She always told me if I needed anything call her. She was great help with those cows. She was a wonderful friend and I am glad she and Irban are back together. May she RIP.
You have sincere condolences.
Sorry to hear about your loss Rick. She is at peace now.
Our sympathy to the family. I had so many fond memories of having your family as our neighbors. Urban, Kenny, Connie, Rick and John; we had so many great and memorable times on the farm. Things would really have been dull on Rocky Hill road without your family! Rosalyn so very quiet but a good person with a great family. Rest well and say “hi” to Urban and Kenny,
Sorry for the Loss of your Mother, When I came up to Galena, I would always stop in to visit with your mother n your dad. I’m related through
your father.
