As I think of my sister Linnea Eckman I think of a 2nd MOTHER.  Linnea was 10 yrs older than I am. I have 2 brothers Ed one year older than I am, and Carl 2 yrs younger. Linnea had the job of much of the care for the 3 of us.  Living on a very small farm where our Mother had to tend to Milking cows, deliver calves cutting and hauling hay and reaping other crops as my Dad, Alfred had to have a side job to pay the bills. Needless to say Linnea was almost a 100% Mother to us. As we grew older we got to occasionally spend a nite at her house ( & husband Wilfred) we were jealous of the one who had their turn. We knew what it was like to carry pails of water from an old hand pump so we had dish water, drinking water, and bathing water! Not sure of Date that we got beyond that?? But then we didn't know anything different!  THEN...Linnea and her husband moved way out to California from Michigan!  But they welcomed us to several visit we made there and  we where treated as SPECIALL guests and 
got to spend time with our Niece Nancy Eckman! We enjoyed those trips VERY much, and so thankful for their hospitality! There is a Big gap now as both my sister and brother in law are joined in heaven & AT Peace. So Love to Linnea and Wilfred, Thank you for your LOVE and Care for the 3 of us You will forever be cherished and loved! And now await the time we will once again be re-united in God's timing! Love, your little sister ! ♥
