DuWayne Nennig wrote a sympathy message

“Dan and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your moms passing. I always remember your mom's laughter and the warm welcome she always had. (unless we still had our shoes on in the house) Your mom and dad hold such a special place in my heart as the nicest parents I have ever known and their support, caring, and friendship to me were and are greatly appreciated and will always be remembered. Please except our condolences. DuWayne & Gail Nennig”
