Dear family of Jean Kremin:
We always think of Jean every time we make her recipe for GINGER SNAP COOKIES from the old St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Vesta cookbook. We are enjoying a batch right now.
Sending prayers of sympathy,
Gary & Barb Schmidt
Vesta
Your Mom and I were roommates when we attended the Minnesota School of Business and have been in contact (usually at Christmastime) ever since. So very sorry to hear of her death. My sympathy to all the family.
