Condolences

  1. So sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

  2. The entire Wisner family mourns the passing of Audrey Rapp. There were no better neighbors than Audrey& Bennie Rapp. When we moved to Petersburg, the entire Rapp family became part of the Wisner family and vice versa. Audrey & Bennie became the third set of grandparents to the Wisner girls. It soon became evident that if you were a friend of the Rapp family, you were a friend of the Wisner family–and vice versa.
    Audrey & Bennie were a perfect pair. Their personal strengths complimented each other. We know we are better people for having known Audrey & Bennie Rapp.
