    I remember Aunt Bea as an energetic, fun-loving person. She enjoyed life and was fun to be around. I hated when the Dray’s moved from Delphos and we kind of lost contact with each other. Our prayers are with the Dray family. Sadly, Bea was the last of the Alphonse and Rose Markward family. May she and all of them Rest In Peace! ❤️

    Dear Bob and Joe,

    We send our condolences on the loss of your mother. While I didn’t know her, I do know she raised some nice kids who were fun to play with back in the long ago day and became good men. You’re in our thoughts,
