I am yet another one of the Breer sisters (I know, there is a bunch of us. I never realized how close to age she was with our mother. I loved your mom. She was my second mother. I remember staying home from school there when sick and she would be cleaning the house and whistling, but no tones, just breath in and out. It was so soothing. She made me feel so special when I got the play with Ginger's Barbie dolls...I was in heaven then and would love to dress her up in weird fashions...mix up what was supposed to be. I do that myself to this day. She would watch us before and after school at Horn of the Moon and she would then make us lunch and bring the pots over in the red wagon. My favorite was her cherry cobbler. Now that I'm older, I wonder how hard that was for her in the Winter. I loved her washing my hair in the sink, and she gave me the biggest head of hair with the bobbypin curls. I think of her the most every Spring when I pick out my pansies and look for the pretty faces. She had a field of pansies. She brings me a warm happy feeling everytime I think of her. My thoughts are with you at this time of loss.

Im also one of the Breer sisters, Kathy. Mrs. Trepto used to babysit me and my sister pam. I remember her washing our hair in yhe kitchen sink and then putting it up in bobby pins for curls. I also remember going to the horn of the moon school with the wagon to bring lunches. She is a part of my growing up that brings me joy to think about and I have very fond memories of her. May she rest in peace. My condolences to the family.

Nancy, Ginger and other family members, I am sorry for the loss of your dear mother. Just seeing her picture brought back many memories. She was lovingly warm and very caring. She was also a great cook! I too am one of the Breer sisters and was in 7th/8th grade with your sister Sally. She was my friend. Your mother welcomed me into your home and I enjoyed being there. She was dear to me and I am certain she was dear to many others. May you know the loving comfort that comes from God Himself.
