She was my big sister (not in size) but the one I went to with questions and thoughts about our growing up years during depression years. I will miss our gab sessions very much.

I remember getting a birthday card from Beulah every year even though I probably didn't get to see her much. I do remember when I did get to meet her that she was a very nice lady. Bonnie Bittorf Pichelman
