Condolences
Jerry and Cindy Newman from New Bremen, OH
"My dearest Coulombe family. We are so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. For so many years the Newmans and the Coulombes shared their homes with each other. I so looked forward to stopping by and visiting with Louis and Ginny. They were such a wonderful couple to say were our friends and almost extended family. Dad just loved his time golfing with Louis and Bob. Maybe they can get together now for some more golf. Take care and love from all of the Newman Family. Jerry and Cindy"
