Family: Please accept my sympathy of the loss of your loved one. I am Mable Alwes Reum's daughter, Joyce and Emma Stappenbeck Alwes' granddaughter. I remember grandma talking about her brother, Fred and sister in law Nell. A family reunion was held at their place, North Normal, in the 50's and going to a Stappenbeck reunion at Miller Park and great uncle Fred prayed. He really put an impression on my mind and heart at the age of 10 or 12.
