One of my first memories of Mrs Bottum is sitting around the island in her kitchen preparing the bread and veggies for our cheese fondue dinner when I was in high school. Not only did we laugh and have fun, we had an amazing dinner! She always welcomed me into her home- dinners, homework nights, date night, prom pictures. Then, of course, dressing for Suzanne´s wedding in her beautiful home. May you rest in God´s everlasting peace!
