It's hard to lose a parent no matter what their age but you have a lot of memories to fall back on. We spent a lot of time with your family when we were young. Your mom always laughed a lot and always seemed happy. Nothing much ever got her down even when we made candles and burnt her kitchen curtains down, luckily not the kitchen. I'll always have fond memories also.

"Darr" was such a sweet lady and a good room-mate for our late mother, Peg Raisch. Bless her as she enters into her eternal reward. God be with you all as you remember all the wonderful memories.
We enjoyed visiting Juletta in the nursing home these past four years. She was always just delighted to see us, and loved to sing hymns with us, and always quoted the 23rd Psalm for us. She will be missed.
I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I have such good memories of her from when I was younger and chummed with Carol. I spent a lot of time at your home and made many good memories there. Your mother did not forget me. When I worked at the nursing home and she would see me, she would say " I know you, come here a minute." Then we would talk about old times and how Carol and I would sneak off to Wis. Rapids when we would get their car. We had a good laugh over these memories. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed. I am sorry that I can not make the funeral as I am now in Oklahoma. Please except my condolences for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
