Mike, Wes,Frank,
Sorry for your loss; we all get only one mom, however old, and wow ! 92!
I am sure she will be missed .

She was always willing to take time with me every time our paths crossed.
She was one of those leading figures in the Village where everyone knows your name.

F,W, & M Since writing my earlier entry, some additional recollections occurred. Your mother helped me get dressed for school, and I still remember asking which foot each sock went ob In addition, she was my "aid" in getting down bird nests, and attempting to catch rabbits at the school. I also remember her always bottle feeding any weak pups or kittens. Another gem was her hope chest. It was always loaded with candy, and we always attempted to invade it for the _"bounty." Roland.

FRANKIE, WESLEY AND MICHAEL Sadly, Anne and I will be unable to make it to the visiting hours and funeral services, have been unable to drive for almost 4 years. Part of that limitation is due to the left leg amputation. Anne is just is unable to drive that far. All of us will miss her, but the memories she produced will never fade. I will never forget her attempts to pull my baby teeth with plyers. When I had a loose tooth and saw her with plyers in hand, I "hightaikedI" it. also remember herguiding me around Montgomery Wards when I was a youngster, with the tour being concluded with a hot fudge sundae.
