So sad when I read this. She will always be a mom to me when I was in faraway land. May she rest in peace.

To all nieces and nephews:
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom! She was an amazingly wonderful Mother to all of her children and an especially good friend to me! When I was 20yrs old, newly married & moved to Michigan, your Mom opened her home & heart to me. She taught me to cook, and took me on every shopping trip she went on. "Come and stay at our house, don't ever stay home by yourself and be lonely!" We also shared being pregnant together, she with her eighth child, me with my 1st. We had a ball with you kids when you were little, parties, picnics, holidays. Each child was cuter than the next. Your parents dressed you all in pretty little smocked dresses and the boys in sharp slacks and shirts for special occasions.
I know how close you all are as a family and that's the greatest gift of all. It just doesn't get better than that. Your Mom knew that she had completed her job when she looked at her eight children and knew how much they all loved one another. You all took such wonderful care of your Mom and that will stay in your hearts forever! I love and miss you guys!
Love,
Aunt Pat

I remember your mother when she met your DAD AT MILTON HIGH SCHOOL.
Did you know that your mother took shorthand and was the only girl in her class who was able to write shorthand at 100 words a minute? I was 3 years behind her and also took the secretarial course with shorthand. Because I knew she got 100 words a minute, (a certificate is awarded) I worked so hard on my shorthand but could never get more than 80 words a minute. She lived in Milton with the Ryder family, and helped with their young kids. She was the sweetest girl. The best thing that happened to her because she had little family was having you 8 kids to love and love she did. May she now be happy in heaven with our Lord, peace at last, thank God Almighty, peace at last for all of you as you watched her demise for such a long time.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL AT KATE'S WEDDING IN APRIL IN VERMONT.. LOVE YOU ALL, AUNT LOLLY
