Barbara WisnefskiDear Maureen, Tom, Ellen, Bill, Jane and Joan, My condolences to you on the passing of your Mother. Julie. My Dad & Mother, Sylvester and Leona Epping, passed away at the ages of 92 and 90 respectively and while there is a celebration of their lives well lived and long, there is a missing of your parents. To refresh you memories, Mike and I were your neighbors across from you on 70th Street. We were the newly weds in 1965 and you were all so young. Some of you babysat for us when Patti and Lori were just babies. Together our families watched Packer games together, a particular memory was watching the "Ice Bowl". Morrie and Julie Dunbar and family, were the very best neighbors ever!!!! In our genealogy we are distantly related. Leona Richter Epping was a first cousin to Grandmother Louise Vos May, and my father's mother, Gertrude May, was an aunt to your Grandpa Ed May. My best to all of you. Barb Epping Wisnefski
