Memories of unending love and support for her family. And the questions: Do you want something to eat or drink? Should I get a perm? Do you want to out to eat, I’ll buy. But mostly the unending love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sue

Hi Marna, Sally, Sue, Julie and Jennifer... I hope you and your families are all well. I was saddened to learn of the passing of your mother. I fondly remember as a kid taking trips from Kenosha to Madison to see you and your parents. And if my memory still serves me, Martin came down to Waukegan for Greg's high school graduation ceremony. Greg and I loved going to Westby, seeing grandma Schye, and having locally made lefse. We were not, at all, a fan of the lutefisk or blood sausage though :) Please take care and always remember to have fond memories that never escape us. Gary Schye
