The idea of gradma tootie not bein with us anymore doesnt seem real. I can remember so many wonderful times spent with her and grandpa Fred. Coloring in her living room to playing skat to our walks into town, things sure arent goin to be the same without her here. Im glad she is no longer suffering and is up there with so many wonderful people especially my dad, I know he will be thrilled to be with her again. Now I feel safe having those two lookin over and watching out for me, my kids and my family. I love you grandma, u are forever in my thoughts.

Aunt Tootie was a very, very special person and funny. I will always remember her laugh and how she would rebuke Uncle Fred for simple things but over look the big stuff! When we lived in Great Bend my wife enjoyed visiting with Aunt Tootie greatly. Uncle Fred we are sorry we can't be there in your time of sorrow but our thoughts and prayers are with you.

It's difficult to express my emotions with words, Aunt Tootie was a very special woman. Someone who helped nuture me to be the person I am today. I will never forget her voice, her laugh and the way she would scold Uncle Fred! She was the best and I will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you Uncle Fred, I love you both very much. I am sorry I am unable to be there during this time but I will be thinking of you. You both mean the world to me.
Love,
Heather Wood (Hull)
