I moved into the house next to the wolfe's with my mother when I was just four years old. Mr. and Mrs. wolfe were wonderful "Gradparents" to myself as well as the other children in the neighborhood. My fondest memories are of playing with Mrs. Wolfes dolls on her backporch and attending church and vacation bible school with their family. I feel blessed to have known her. She will always be remembered as a wonderful lady! Goodbye, Mrs. wolfe, I will see you in heaven! Love, Krishna

Gladys and Marvin were my Aunt and Uncle. They were the farmers of the Chapman family, I will always cherish and remember the time I lived with them on their farm in Weskan KS, seems Phil and I couldn't keep out of trouble, to tell the truth we were always in trouble anywhere we were. I know Heaven will be a better place with the Chapman girls there. LOVE ALWAYS BOB COOPER

I have fond memories of my childhood years while growing up in the house across the street from Mrs Wolfe. She was such a sweet lady and always kept an eye out on the neighborhood kids. My favorite memory is when Mr and Mrs Wolfe planted the "bubble gum" tree in the front yard. All of the neightborhood kids were so excited. We really though bubble gum grew on trees. Mrs Wolfe will be dearly missed.

You will always be remembered as a good neighbor and friend. I used to find you sitting on your back porch enjoying your lovely yard full of flowers. God Bless You. Love, Terri
