Dear Louis,
It was a huge privilege to get to know Granny in the last year of her life.
We simply loved going to visit and sing with her with our family. To hear about her younger days baking the best apple pies. Celebrating birthdays and Christmas times together. Then to sit around your table with Pizza or rolls with Granny watching on from her chair with a big grin on her face. To watch my mother Oma and Granny rattling away in Spanish was a total treat! Granny was direct, honest,...

Mr. Weitzel and Uncle~

My time with Granny was short, but her love was not. I have had the pleasure to be welcomed into a household that has more love than anything that I have ever seen, and I am so thankful for that. She was truly blessed to have a loving family that made every sacrifice necessary for her and she knew it. In her passing, I had the opportunity to read some of her writings and they were some of the best that I have ever had the pleasure to read. It is...

I will miss my Tia Teadora. She was always there to give me advice and guidance and despite our distance, she always made an effort to keep in touch. Later, I enjoyed practicing my Spanish with her. She was by far one of my favorite people on this Earth.

Louis, thank you for taking such good care of your mom. Please know that we appreciate you.

Love, Erin (Tom, Nancy, & Lisa)

Dear Lou, John and Josh,
Our condolences on the passing of your lovely Mother and Grandmother. She was a special lady who was so proud of all of you! We always enjoyed chatting with her at St. Barbara's Church. May the Lord bless and comfort you and your family during your time of grief.

I'm sorry to say goodbye to a lovely lady that I called girlfriend and gram . She always greated me with and smile and never forgot to ask how I was feeling . She gave me the pleasure to cook for her and it warmed my heart to hear her say that the food brought back old memories of her cooking for her husband . She never forgot to ask me how Domenic was doing and talking about Louis and John bring him to visit when he was just a wee baby . I'm glad that she had the chance to see Domenic and...

Louis, I am so sorry to hear that your Mom passed away on Friday. Your Mom was so special to the Turner family & especially after our parents passed away in 2005. She kept us under her wing calling us on Christmas, Birthdays, or just to chat about family interactions! Sometimes those conversations would last close to an hour.

Please know how much we will miss her, & I am comforted that I got to tell her how much I loved her a week ago. Many thanks to John & Josh for Great care of Mrs....
