Thank you for the sympathy and kindness shown to us during Dycie Schneider’s recent accident and death. The meal after her funeral was truly appreciated. Tuckston was such an important part of Dycie’s life – especially the Co-Workers Class and the Aerobics Class – and she loved her many friends there. May God richly bless you all. Love in Christ, The Family of Dycie Schneider
