To my cousins, Debbie and Dianne...I send my heart and a hug. I always wanted to see your mother and spend time with the Jacksons when visiting Baraboo! Never a dull moment and plenty of love and laughter! Keep hold of those memories! Aunt Totsie was one of a kind to many of us! All my love...

Dianne and Debbie and the whole family, my deepest sympathy to each of you. I think of your Mom fondly as she was always there for me when I was growing up (as you were too Dianne). She was a wonderful and totally awesome woman who helped shape me in to who I am today. I have nothing but thanks and gratitude for her. Thinking of you all and sending my love.
