Not sure what to say?





Houske Family, like I said before, we are all so blessed to have had her in our lives. She was one of a kind and cannot be replaced. A great, bright light has gone out of our lives, but her "twinkle" will stay with us forever! Miss you Jude!

I came across a list of "things to do" I had written before Christmas. It made me think of how we tend to think things will go on and on and on... just get through the "things to do" list. However, we rarely think about the plans of our heavenly Father. I thank God for His plan to "knit me together in my mother's womb." And for knowing that you, Mom, would be the "best Mom EVER!" for me. God has blessed me with the lifetime I have had to share with you and the things you have taught me and are still teaching me. Thank you, Mom, for the experiences we've shared, the laughter, the tears and especially the sillyness. I love you, Mom, and miss you so very much! I wish you were still here with us, but God had other plans. Peace and rest in God's wonderful and glorious Kingdom where "...He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying or pain..." ~Lynny skinny late for dinny, aka Annie or just plain Vicki

Judy,

Happy 56th Anniversary, our first one apart.
My days are endless and empty without you.
The loneliness is crushing and memories of you fill my dreams, and waking moments. I miss you so much,
and until we meet again.

Love you forever,

Lee

It's been almost one month since you've left us for a better place, and our journey without you has just begun. On Monday we'll celebrate Grayson's 5th birthday - Oh how he loves you! I've many stories to tell since you've gone, so I'll treasure each and every one of them in my heart to tell you when we see you again. I love you mom. Thank you for the gift of life you gave us during your last days. Your very essence was a breath of life. I will forever cherish that memory. Until eternity...with much love, your first born...Debbie Deedles

Lee and Family,

Even though I have not seen your family in over 20 years, I remember Judy growing up coming to either our house or yours. I remember your WSP and Mendota home. There was always laughter between all and the occasional Union discussions. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
