Dear Jeanette and Gary: Gordon and I were blessed to have such a wonderful sister. She was so good to me (us). I loved her so much and her entire family. When she lost her soul mate (Dick), the love of her life, she never fully recovered. We are so grateful that she received such loving and concerned care by the staff of the Angel Nursing Home during the twilight of her life. She always exhibited an old fashion sense of honor and concern for family and for everyone whom she came in contact. We thank God for putting her on earth. Our thoughts and memories of her will be with us forever. Betty (Schell) Littig.
