Paul,
Mom (Marylou Banker} just let me know of your loss. My thoughts are with you and my wish is that you will find strength in all those whose lives you've touched. Your gift of building and sharing the Elkhart Museum is precious to those of us who grew up here. As a former employee of Pesonettes Bike shop it was amazing to see the picture of Gene and my Granddad seated in the custom made snowmobile motorcycle in front of Gene's fathers Freds original store front on main st. We are made of our memories. Treasure them. They will keep us strong.

Dear Paul and family, as probably most who have lived in Elkhart all their lives have a lifetime of memories of you, Betty and your family. So with much heartfelt sentiment, I ask God provide you with comfort and peace. And may your memories become God's roses in winter during this time of loss.
Deborah (Platz)Zimmerman and family

Condolences to her husband Paul who took such good care of her as her health needs increased and heartfelt sympathies to my lifelong friend Brian who was always close at hand as good sons are. May all the beautiful memories of Betty remain in your hearts. She is now your angel who will keep watch over you.
