A wonderful person who will be missed by many. Deepest sympathy to Reinhart cousins who are now grieving the loss of their beloved mother as well as barely having time to grieve the loss of their dad. Both were loving parents who put family first, an admirable quality. Words cannot seem to express my deepest sympathy in your loss.

Dear Adopted Family:

I am so fortunate to have you in my life for these 40+years. If Mary and I had never met at the bank, I would not have had you in my life. I believe it was "Divine Intervention". When I first met Mom & Dad I called them Mr. & Mrs. Reinhart, that didn't last very long. Mom told me to call them Don & Kay or Mom & Dad. I told her I couldn't call them Don & Kay its wasn't resptectful to them. So they became MOM & DAD from that day on.
If GOD gave us the choice to pick our parents they would have won hands down in my book. That's why I say it was "Divine Intervention" that May and I met and became Best Friends who felt more like sisters all these years.
Eventhough I had my own biological family our relationships were not the same and some don't even exist anymore. My relationship with the Reinhart Family is very different and for that, I will always be greatful to the two wonderful people who told me to call them MOM & DAD.

I believe at 1 o'clock that afternoon Dad reached out his arms and said "Kay come dance with me in this beautiful place we know as HEAVEN and she accpepted and left us to be with him and are dancing to their song."You'll Never"

My heart hurt that day in August when we lost
Dad, but loosing Mom so soon, my heart is broken.

I hope I can fullfill my promise to them to take care of Mary and the family.

As MOM said:
FAMILIES ARE FOREVER BECAUSE LOVE NEVER MELTS

ALL MY LOVE
LU

Dear Reinhart Family,
There are no words to tell you how sorry I am. Take comfort in the fact that your parents are "home" with each other. Besides the fact that you have 2 guardian angels watching over you, you have each other, and you are their legacy for which they are very proud. Your parents are truly living "happily ever after" and that's what it's all about. Godspeed to you all.
