My condolences to The Ackfeld Family. Although I never met Floriana, I felt like I knew her from hearing Tom and Ricard talk about what a fine person she was.

Such a wonderful "second mom"!!!! The Lammerts and Ackfelds go way back. My memories of farm weekends, lunchbreaks from school, chicken noodle soup, sleepovers (with Barb still at home) and many, many more! RIP Mrs. A--you will be missed but always remembered.

I remember a July Sunday afternoon not long ago Skip, Peggy, Grandma and Sue and I sitting on the deck in Reeds Springs with the lake view, Danny Boy squawking in the background, the bark of Maggie in the woods behind the house, and of course an ice cold draft beer (we all really enjoy our beer). "Little Grandma" was reminiscing about when Grandpa or as she
said "Daddy" was outside singing through the window to her while she was doing dishes at her parent's home in East St. Louis. I truly enjoy listening to her tell the story and watching her face light up.
I remember another story she told me about one of Skip's friends getting shot at the farm. I had to ask her how Grandpa handled that one, boy I bet he was mad. She proceeded to tell me not at all Daddy never was too hard on the kids I was more the disciplinary.
It was such a simple day if little grandma taught me one thing it was that the simple things in life are the most important.
I would not have been able to enjoy these simple days with little grandma if not for the great hospitality of Skip, Peggy and Family they always made us feel welcomed.
Much love and respect!!

The greatest woman I've ever known. Never heard her say a bad thing about anyone until her nineties, and have to admit loved her nineties, she was spunky and let it rip. She was always there for me to lift me up and make me feel special. She was there for every landmark event in my life. I will miss her dearly. One of my many favorite memories is living with her as a young child and I wanted to watch the Wizard of Oz, but it was dinner time. So, I pulled the old vomit trick (it always worked on her). I remember her consoling me, washing my face and putting me in front of the TV, while my Dad was telling her "she is faking it." Grandma stated "leave her alone, no shes not." I remember sitting on the floor in front of the TV and looking over at Grandma and Grandpas dinning room table where there sat Grandma, Grandpa, Marie and my Dad saulking next to Grandpa. Got to love Grandma! My gut tells me I wasnt pulling nothing over on her.

She raised me to be the woman I am now and I can't be more thankful for her always being there for me. She was always where I ran when I wanted to get away. She even supported my hatred of pink when I was a little tom-boy. I spent my summers gardening, cooking, and playing chicken feet, Skip-Bo and 21 with her. Of course she always won poker because well, shes Grandma! :) One of my many favorite memories of her was when she would have me feed her roses and she would tell me not to water some of Aunt Peggy's flowers because she didn't like them. It may sound mean but for everyone who knew her, it is absolutely hilarious. I remember how excited I was when I was finally taller than her! I loved running errands with her when she would watch me and my brothers, I loved how she had to sit on a chair cushion in her Grand Am, I loved sleeping in my tiny twin bed and reading a book to her until she fell asleep. She is the most amazing woman I have ever known and I am very lucky that she is my Grandma. She is a part of all of us and she will live on through us.

My Grandma...Heart of Gold, Friend to all, Caregiver, Teacher, Nurse, Great Listener, and the list could go on forever she was everything to everyone. I am blessed to be able to call her my Grandma. I will miss her deeply but know she will still be there for me whenever I need her. I am so happy to have been able to spend my life with her. The Ackfeld Family has been blessed to have such a wonderful woman leading our Family she in my eyes is the true "First Lady".

There has been no greater friends to the Harmon family than the Ackfeld's. Our family history began sometime in the late 1930's with Ed, Floriana, and my grandparents Walter and Helen Harmon. The Harmon's greive the passing of this wonderful person as if she was part of our family. My wish is the freindship of our two families continue for years to come.
A historical photograph of the early friendship can be viewed by visiting the Route 66 Museum in Eureka, Missouri. Look for the Stieny's resturant exhibit.
