Mom, Thank you for the memories, the joy, and even the tears which helped me learn. You have inspired, taught, and cherished me more than I know. Thank you for praying for me, Lord knows I have needed it. You have given so much of yourself and I am forever grateful. (Thank you for the piano lessons. Who knew it would become my career?) I am so sorry you suffered for so long, but now you are with the Magnificent Healer. I know Jesus has wrapped you in His arms and made you whole again. I love you so much. See you soon.
I will always remember and love Ida. The first time I met her was about 1959 (we were 17) when she choose me during the "girls choose" dance at the Midland, MI roller skating rink. I will always treasure her memory.
