Janell and family,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss of Doug.  My prayers are with all of you.

If you recall, the Ranges and the Anackers are branches of the same family tree.  My dad, Richard, and your Mom, Darlane, were cousins of some sort.  Mom and Dad so enjoyed every opportunity to visit with your folks.  I can recall seeing them every year at our house during income tax season as my Dad, an accountant, lined up his family members and friends to file their tax returns.  

Again, my sincere condolences on your loss.

Susan (Range) Warneke
