Neal & Sue, Your mother was a wonderful lady. I visited her at the Meadows and if she didn't recognize me after I told her I worked at the Post Office, she did a good job of bluffing! I also spent some time at her house where she shared her love of gardening and also some of her plants with me. I know you will miss her but I believe she is at peace. I hope it helps to know that you are thought about at this time.

Aunt Norma didn't remember me. I am not surprised since it was several years since I had seen her. Despite this, we were always able to connect through shared memories, and laughter, and conversation. Aunt Norma was family. I will always remember and be forever grateful for the kindness and love she showed to us when we were growing up. I do wish she remembered me. But, in the end gave me and my mother and sisters the gift of family and caring and I hope she felt that from us. We loved her.
