Dear Mary and family, We send our condolences to you and your family on the death of your mother. She lived a long life and I am certain you are blessed with many wonderful memories. You can see the strong resemblance in her picture to you, Mary. Our sympathyJohn and Joann Lorenz

Dear Family Members:Today I received the Langdon newspaper carrying the obituary of Norma Schrader. I send my sincere sympathy. Norma Anderson was my teacher at Loam No. 4, the Mona school, for Grade 1 and Grade 2. She was a wonderful teacher--dedicated, caring, nurturing. She gave me a "grounding" in academics that has served me well my whole life. I learned to love the alphabet, numbers, books and schoolwork. To make a long story short, I went on the high school, then college, obtaining a B.A. degree, an M.A. degree and a Ph.D. Norma stayed in touch with me long after I left grade school, sending notes and letters of support and encouragement as I went through college years and job advancement periods. I am grateful she was my teacher. God bless all of you in the loss of this extraordinary person. Signed, Harvey Jacobson, professor emeritus of journalism, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Oct. 7, 2008
