What a beautiful memory I have of your mom. Visiting in Glenville, and a place by Lake Wisconsin, Grandmas? I believe. It was a fun house. Your mom remains a memory of fun. Beautiful on the inside as well as outside. Blessings to you. Jo Meisel Klemm Mcgann

Our family lost a key person. She always kept her nails, lips, and hair bright red, which matched her feisty personality. She loved playing cards, doing jigsaw puzzles and crosswords, and visited thrift stores frequently. She was such a great pen pal and loved watching Wheel of Fortune! She made it 102 years, but if you use rounding rules, she was closer to 103. I'll sure miss the phone calls of her singing happy birthday and seeing her at holiday parties with the family. I wish I got a video of her opening up the 'saran wrap gift ball' at Christmas- it was hysterical and she made all of us laugh!! She always had a goofy fun side and wasn't afraid to show it, regardless of her age. If I had to guess, it's probably why she lived so long.

Moments with Mom... I love how Mom embraced each day. I loved finding her handwritten note of "thanks" or "Hi, thinking of you" in my mailbox regularly. I loved all she taught me, kindness, sharing, forgive others quickly, and know that God is in control. I'll always keep her image of blowing a kiss to me from her window after our visits. So, Mom, until we're together again, here's to you, Love galore!!!
