We are saddened to hear of your dads passing. But he is out of pain and suffering now and in the arms of the Lord.
What a good man Duckeye was. He always made us smile.
May God grant you all peace.
With Love and Sympathy,

"Duckeye"
This is for Sharon, Buddy, Paula Jean and their families.
I didn't know of your dad's passing until my friend read it in the paper and told me. I am so very sorry that both of your parents have passed away in such a short time. The very same situation happened to my sister and brother-in-law, Naomi and Cal Hess. It is difficult but you all know they are now at peace. Pauline and Duckeye were the backbone of the Schroder family for quite a few years and we will miss them terribly. Brad just loved "Duckeye". I talked with him on Father's Day and he said he was hanging in there but his voice was weak and I knew he wasn't feeling at all well. He was so appreciative that I called him. You are in our thoughts and prayers and if at all possible we(especially me) will try to be there on Saturday.
Love and God bless,
Maryalice, Arnie and Brad
