Dear Larry,
So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was a dear lady, always there to help out. I'm sure she is having a great reunion in Heaven.

Grandma was an original! She was always ready for a good time and loved being with the teenagers. She allowed my girls and myself to also claim her as our "Grandma". So glad to have been able to share so many memories with Grandma. Filling her "dash" with activity and service to others, for a lifetime. Grandma will be greatly missed. Praying for comfort and peace for the family knowing she is enjoying heaven!

One of my fondest memories of Max was when Max's first grandchild was born she had rolls and rolls of film to show me. The day her first great-grand child was born I was also shown rolls and rolls of film of that one too. She was proud of her kids, grand-kids and now her great-grand child. I love you and will miss you Max.

I am so sorry such a nice lady is gone. The Strombergs used to give me a ride to church since they only lived about 4 houses down from me. They were always so kind and nice to me. I appreciate it so much. Had so much fun with Larry Jr. and Sharon on the ride to and from church.
