  5. Mary Elizabeth (Endres) Veldman

    I didn’t know Marvin, but I have heard many good stories about him. My parents, Harold & Elizabeth (Clouser) Endres were good friends of Marvin and his wife. My mother was born the same year, February 21, 1921 in Bowers. They probably went to school together. My mother died in 1972, and my father in 1977 so I lost contact until Mary Jo let me know how Marvin was doing. I will keep you all in my prayers, and know that Marvin is having a real good time in the next world. Respectfully, Mary Elizabeth (Endres) Veldman
