Funeral services were conducted for Rueben, her husband, on April 14 at the Cross United Church of Christ in Seguin.

Rueben traveled all over the state at that time.

In 1978, together with close friends and family, Opa Krueger built Wayman and Nancy's home. He was also a member of the building crew that put up the Geronimo Volunteer Fire Department Station in 1988. Rueben Waymann Krueger was born to Charles and Alma Dollc Krueger in Aug.

27, 1915 in Guadalupe County. He was Sept. 18, 1916 and confirmed April 13, 1930, both in Emanuel's Lutheran Church in Seguin. On April 12, 1941 Rueben married Ellie Clara Schuenemann. They were blessed with one son, Wayrnan.

A hug from you is one lo cherish For I could never gel enough, Cause raising my own family Is really, oh so tough.

I will always, always need you So please be there again, Cause Ihcsc praises that I sing to you Come sincerely from within. Al limes I make you mad And Ihen in doubl of me you'll be, But remember, mom, 1 truly love you Cause you mean the world to me.
