Dear Susi, So many of us have been blessed by having Greta in our lives. Thank you for sharing her. I have so many nice memories of the times we shared on the sun porch. Your Mom was truly a role model for me over the years. Greta could warm your heart, make you laugh and bring you to tears all in the same sentence. She truly lived her life to the fullest. I know how you cared for her and how much that meant to her. Please know that she touched many lives; and her wonderfully positive spirit will live on through those of us who were lucky enough to know her.
