Yvonne Rist

Dear Bud, I'm so sorry your beautiful wife is no longer with you. It was such a treat to meet Vonnie and I have enjoyed the stories you shared about your life together. I'm so glad you have wonderful memories of your life with Vonnie. They will help you through this difficult time. I will hold you and your family up in prayer. Kim Overcast

Buddy, as I sit here remembering Vonnie, my mind takes me to Our Lady of Guadalupe church where I saw the both of you from my seat in the choir box.. My heart was always lifted to see her smiling face and her loving eyes as she worshipped our God. She was and continues to be a blessing in my life as during her struggles, she always kept the smile I grew to love on her beautiful face, and I will cherish the times I was able to hold her hand, kiss her cheek, and tell her that I love her. Love never fails, and I am grateful for the love she showed me and the chance to love her. I rejoice that her struggles are over and she is with her God, and look forward to that beautiful smile waiting for me. Bud, know that my prayers are with you and that I love you Patrick Reichert

Mr. Rist and Family, Sending you our sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one. May you find peace knowing Mrs. Rist is in the arms of the Lord and no longer suffering. She was a vibrant lady and the heavens no doubt have gained another beautiful star. Sincerely, Mack & Marla McCrocklin Fromberg
