I have not had a good argument since Kathleen and Sarah died. on top of everything and always ready to argue their point of view. always ready with constructive dialog always knew what they were talking about before they would argue their point of view. I am sure the heavenly bodies became well versed before discussions began and they always started with a Prayer. I miss them dearly. Kathleen has placed so many God sightings to keep me on the right tract as I am sure she does for all of you. I know she and Sara are together working to keep me on the straight and narrow. Loved them be on words Miss them dearly . Snarky is as Snarky does Please God change not one thing ,perfect just the way they are. Nana and Papa ,loving and beloved. enjoying Christmas with the Christ child. and putting in a good word for their kids and grand kids. how they are missed

I truly do feel your pain and you have my sympathy .
Your mother and I had (her words)a snarky relationship, it starterted when she had the broken?leg,foot. I loved her dearly and had no better verbal sparing partner.Even with her death she managed to give once more to me. My oldest son Thad was killed in 20/09 while doing under water photography in Figi. Thad was born Dec. 15 1962 he loved and did art and had his degree in education .I have no doubt Kathleen latched on to Thad checked in with your Dad and then looked the place over to see where a good sight for her big table would be .She would see the big fellows later when she was ready. and they would understand and not make waves. I had the pleasure of introducing her to a variety of story telling and storytellers.Nana was a pure delight. I knew she was not doing well and I wanted to do something special ,I hade a breakfast basket sent ,it was to come the 14th of Dec. so she and Paul could have something every morning til Christmas I do not know if it ever did arrive the othe one I sent to AZ same time frame got it day after Christmas.. I love her many cards and notes ,her paper cutout and her weekly instructions . When I could no longer come to the table I got my instructions by phone and occaisonal surprise visit. I am grateful beyond words for having her in my life. MY Sarah Dillon and MY Kathleen Forthofer, they also enjoyed each other but ,how Blessed was I to have them both in my life, and although not here in human form they are still very much part of my life
.Thank Jesus

Dear Beth, Amy, Eric, Meg , Jo, Kris, and Paul. You may remember me as Amy´s and Eric´s fifth grade teacher. Amy, you gave me a sweet Kitty that fifth grade year.
I loved your mother. She was a practical and spiritual mentor to me, when, as a very young mother, I so needed her loving wisdom. She also took care of my son, Matthew, when I went back to teaching after he was a year old.
Over the years and lots of moves, I´ve thought of your mother often. Please know that I´ll keep you all in my prayers and celebrate in my heart your mother´s exceptional life.
