Please accept my condlences on the passing of such a wonderful Mom and Grandmother. She was such a pleasant person to everyone. I remember our family drives to the Dairy Queen on Sundays. I also worked at the HiDelite Drive In and remember sending people next door for soft ice cream because Mr Ballard said he would not cut in to John's Daily Queen business. God Bless
