Dale and Anita, I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My mother used to enjoy reading her article in the local newspaper and always got a chuckle out of something that she would read each week. Cherish your memories and may God bless you and help you through this sad time in your life.

Dale and Anita, Paul and I are so sorry to hear about Lodema. What a wonderful and full life she led. She was one of the most talented women in the community; an artist, writer, hair cutter, baker, antique expert.. a true renaissance woman! Everyone loved being around her and enjoyed her good sense of humor. She would tell a funny story, laughing herself while telling it, and your dad would laugh as if he'd never heard it before. I remember drinking many cups of coffee around her big, oak kitchen table. There will never be another one like her. We'll sure miss her!!
Love, Becky and Paul
