I met Greta as a kid in 1966 and was fascinated by her beauty,elegance and artistic skills. Don was important to our family as well. Many years past with only occasional meetings here and there.
But in the last few years, we became closer than ever through the Topeka Gem & Mineral Society. What a delight. I got to help her & Don dispose of several items preparing for their move. Precious time. We had late night running email conversations covering many topics.
Greta passed along some items that our club will be using for years to come. I also received several pounds of rocks and minerals that will remind me of her every time I polish one up. Thanks for all the time and knowledge you passed my way.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Greta through the quilt guild, and just loved her. She told me more than once that our guild's university sessions were her favorite part of the guild. She loved sharing project ideas and seeing what other quilters were doing. She was a special woman!

I was in Mrs. A's art class at Highland Park Junior High and we all thought she was so "cool". She was only 29 and all the boys had a crush on her. She was so good to all of us and she was loved. May our dear Lord Jesus be with you and your family through this very difficult time.
