Ame Jo Hillesheim Carlson wrote a sympathy message

“It is amazing how time passes so quickly ,memories fade, & moments in time are captured by pictures. My favorite memory of my dad is of him taking my brother & I to the Milwaukee Brewers baseball game. They are still 1 of my favorite teams to watch because of that memory. Grateful that I still have the pictures from the 1st 9 years of my life that you were with me, to treasure our moments in time.So many unanswered questions since then, but this was the most superlative 1 of them all. Now I know. Now I know. I will say my goodbyes to you this weekend. Respectfully, your daughter, Ame Jo”
