Karen said it all. Her thoughts capture everything we loved about you, Mom. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you gave us all.

Love, your son, Larry

Thanks, Mom!  You taught me to be kind, generous with my time, compassionate, strong, loving, and so many other things - not by words but by the way you lived your life.  Your quiet ways endeared you to so many.   You will be missed, and always loved.

Your daughter,
Karen

Grandma, there will never be another as wonderful as you.  Thank you for loving us kids so much.  You were always so patient and kind.  Honestly, I don’t know you put up with us!  From rearranging all the furniture so we could play “house” and “store” to letting us use all the blankets and clothespins in the house to build our forts to letting us get into your makeup and clothes to play dress up. Taking us swimming at Ken and Edie’s - you couldn’t swim so I don’t know how you would have ever been able to help us if we were drowning 😂.  Pie crust with cinnamon and sugar, hot buttered macaroni, crushed ice...even toast tasted better at your house!  I miss you Grandma.  We are all so fortunate to have been able to have you for so long.  Please hug Grandpa for me.  And Cheryl.  And Johnny and tell him that I think about him every single day.  I’m glad he gets to have time with you now.  I’m also so thankful that my own children were able to have you in their lives. You have truly enriched us all and we are forever grateful for you.  Your strength, your quiet dignity, your warmth will remain a part of my soul until I am able to embrace you again.  

With profound love and gratitude,
Your granddaughter, Sandi 💕
