So sorry for your loss of your mother. I'm sorry, but I didn't find out about her funeral until Tuesday, so was unable to attend. She was a very good friend with my mother (Rose Boots), and I'm sure she will be missed.

Sincerely,

Mary (Boots) Spindler

Her picture is just as I remember her, always smiling! Her personality was very calming, which added balance to their family and allowed her very active husband to be the success he was. She will be missed by the Grau family. Richard (Dick) Grau

"Mrs. Weber," as she will always be to me was an amazing women of God. As a child she took me to church every Wednesday and Sunday from the time I was 10 until I graduated. During those car rides she would ask about my day and truly listen, then share Godly wisdom. I cherished that time so much.

No matter how much the aches and pains of life made her feel like she just couldnt do what she needed to, her desire to share God's love was always stronger. So her devotion to all of us kids on Wednesday nights and Sunday's was always evident.

After graduation she stayed in touch through letters and holiday cards. And when I got married and had little ones she would fill those leters and cards with coupons.

She would even keep pictures of my children in a little photo album with her own grandchildren. (Which just melted my heart, because I knew she loved me as much as I loved her.)

Although I know she is now home in Heaven and her pains are no more. This world has truly lost a jewel. And we will all miss her terribly.

So, to all of her family, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God's hands comfort you through this journey. She loved you all more than words could say and always had stories to share with me, of how proud she was of all of you.
