It was with great sadness that I heard the news of Marcella’s passing. But I look forward to tending the flower beds next to the pearly gates and raising the vegetables and making the struedel for the heaveanly feasts with her someday! “Grandma Traeger” will be greatly missed. My condolences to her family – “Pole sana”.
Enjoyed seeing Marcella each year at the Church Festival and her Christmas letters. We send our deepest condolences. Granddaughter of Mike & Tillie Traeger.
