I am so sorry to hear that one of the sweetest people I have ever met at Tivoli has left this earth. She was so dear to me . I loved her and enjoyed being around her. She made this world a brighter place. She always had a smile for everyone. She was always so happy and cheerful. This year was the first time that she brought out a picture of your father to show to me. She said how much she missed him and talked about the things they used to do. Looking back now , I wonder if she knew she was going to be with him soon. She would always talk about" her daughters" and this big smile would light up her face. She loved "her girls" and was very proud of you both. I will miss her very much but find comfort knowing she in heaven still smiling. With deepeth sympathy, love, Miriam Schlabach
