Dear Jeanne and family, I was saddened to read about Red in the Carroll paper tonight. I had no idea he was sick. My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time. I have many fond memories. That is something I have learned to cherish, as many close to me have moved on... Mom, Dad and Mark, to name a few. It is never easy to loose someone dear to you, but remember how much he loved you, and life itself. Memories of someone as wonderful as Red, can never be taken away. May you find comfort in knowing many people have you in their thoughts and prayers. Love, Mindy and Mike Eifler Posted by Mindy (Drees) Eifler - Carroll, IA - Family friend September 09, 2015
