Larry, Carol and John,

How lucky you were to have such an outstanding person for a Mother. My memories of your Mother were from the early to mid 1960's my impression of her then was of a regal lady. I can tell by the photo my memories are correct.

My deep condolences for your loss.

God bless,

Durwood Kaeding

Larry, Carol and John...
So sorry to hear about your mother. She was a very special aunt, and I will never forget how good she was to all of us nephews and nieces.
I wish that I could be there to be a part of the celebration of life of this very special lady. We loved her dearly!

My thoughts & prayers are with you, Carole & your family. Your mom was a beautiful person and I remember her fondly. I always remember & enjoyed being at your house as teenagers. Your mom always had such a strong spirit. Later as an adult I remember conversations with her when we shared and laughed. I will always remember laughing with her. She was a special person who made a difference in this world in many ways. She was so humble I am sure she had no realization of the impact she had on others. My deepest condolences to each of you. You shared a very special journey with your mom.
(That is a beautiful picture of your mom.)
Love,
Nancy Ronan
