Dear Gustavson Family,

So sorry for your loss...
I will always remember your mom, and her unique laugh, and our childhoods' together. Deb, and Eric, and myself planning our summer theatrical presentations, and shows, all winter while we prepared for our own juvenile rendition of summer theatre, in which we charged our parents 50 cents to attend..The show I remember was a western: "Max Schweitzer & the Saloon Girls", and Eric was Max, and all the kids portrayed a western ..Our parents would have to pay, and we worked on costumes and scenery for months. We were like "Spanky and Our Gang", which we used to watch on TV in the morning at your house...Your dad and my father played in jazz bands together,..We all would go out in boats on the lake for hours..They would have wonderful parties, and we would lie awake , giggling, listening to jazz guitar, saxophone, and all of them laughing..Your mom had the best laugh..She was one of my mother's best friends..She made the best picnic food.We had a happy childhood !!...
Years later,
your mom was always so professional and helpful through the years whenever the need arose..I am sure she is happy again, with your dad, in the dimension of heaven..May a Higher Power comfort you in your time of your loss.
With a prayer, and sympathy,
Karen L.Fischer-Perkins

Raymond, I believe we knew each other in the Danbury school system many years ago. -- the relationships with our Moms are special and personal. As years pass health issues sometimes take her away before their body says enough. BUT she is still Mom!! Remember the good of your past with her and honor her in your unique way in the present of living!! God Bless!!
