My mom Pat Schwane, and her sisters Betty Reiter, and Lois Knorre deeply loved Sis. I tried to help mom connect, but they all have had alzheimer's. For many years, I as the daughter, just did not know where SIS was. I am so sorry, I did try to help my mom find her, but not with success. My mom, Pat, has had Sis's picture on her frig for the past 10 years. She and Betty, and Lois, truly loved her.
Sadly, Pat passed on 4/17, Betty 2 weeks later.
It seemed for many years, that it was the 4 girls together, Pat, Betty, Lois, and "Sis". Good for them:)

To my Wisconsin Family...I spoke with Aunt Sis only twice in 2001 and wish I had connected more deeply with her. I have BUNCHES of family pictures and have no idea who they are. Please contact me at 315-593-7324 or at [email protected]. We must not allow anymore of our family to go home without knowing each other better. Love and peace to all, Bonnie (Blaedon)Fauler
