I grieve with you all, and thank God for the blessing of eternal peace. My memories of times with Max and Bob in Yankton at their camp, and one special visit to her Grammolympics birthday at the lake were so special. We dined and wined together and toasted the wonderful family roots we shared.....and long-ago reunions at Aunt Millie's farm in Milford, PA. And to think I now have only second cousins on the Fieg side, and so thankful that you all are dedicated to keeping the family together, in spite of the many distances between us.
My prayers are with the Whitesides. Love to all, Doris
A flood of pleasant memories of Dr Whiteside -- our clever, quick-witted and high spirited Uncle Bob. Sorry for all our loss -- especially the Whiteside cousins. He was a good man
God Bless Uncle Bob. May he rest in peace.
All my best to the Whiteside family.
