    Hi Mom/grandma

    We miss you so much. Allison is sad, Ty and Taryn are still trying to understand this and me I’m happy you are not in any pain but my heart is so sore. This weekend we were away at a hotel for ball. The phone rang and I thought it was you. There never was a time you didn’t call us when away. We will get thru this because that is what you would want. I love you mom and will miss you always. Xoxo Marty, Allison, Tyler and Taryn

    To Bob and family, our deepest sympathy for your loss of a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
    A rose once grew where all could see,

    sheltered beside a garden wall,

    And as the days passed swiftly by,

    it spread its branches, straight and tall…

    One day, a beam of light shone through

    a crevice that had opened wide

    The rose bent gently toward its warmth

    then passed beyond to the other side

    Now, you who deeply feel its loss,

    be comforted – the rose blooms there-

    its beauty even greater now, nurtured by

    God’s own loving care.

    Donna & George

    Mom, it has taken me awhile to write something here because I still cannot believe you are gone and watching from above. I miss talking to you on the phone and wish I could pick it up and call you.

    I think of you all the time and all the wonderful times we had. You were my first friend and I learned so much from you to be the wife and mother I am today!  Tristan watches outaide and waits for you to fly over our home as the angel you have now become.

    You always put your children first and guided us through life. I will always make sure that Tristan knows how much you loved him and I will tell him wonderful stories of you and us as a family!  

    We are planning a beautiful Celebration of Life for you so everyone can see what we seen in you as our mother….a caring, loving, thoughtful person who put her family before herself!!

    Dad is doing okay and he misses you as well. I promise we will take care of him.

    There are so many memories that play in my head but the one memory that I will cherish the most is seeing you and peace and not suffering anymore! God will take care of you and guide you from above!

    I love you to the moon and back mom and will miss you all the days of my life!  You are now with your parents and other loved ones. It’s time to catch up with them and I will reunite with you one day and do the same!

    Until I see you again, keep smiling and being your witty self!!

    I love you mom xoxo

    Hi Elvie, I miss you, you always were and, still are a huge influence in my life. You always included me in just about everything you did with my brother Bob. I will always remember all the of places you took me when I was a very young child too many to mention. I remember how happy and scared I was to be included as your Ring bearer on your wedding day. I also remember all the fun and love you showed me during those Saturdays with family and friends at your childhood home. All the card games with we played with your dad, Neil, Granny and soo many others. I’d lose money playing as your partner, 31, crib, eucher etc. But you always made Bob give me my money back. I will surely miss all of our conversation and mostly all the Christmas Eves together. Rest In Peace Elvie, I will see you later !! Love Brent !
