What a wonderful remembrance of early friends of my youth. Nancy and Pat Zeiger filed a lot of my years of weekends at Lake Will. She and I often were beach buddies talking and enjoying the day, while Pat and I would often sing at weekly campfires. I was so sad to hear they'd both passed and from significant problems. Wish my marriage and move to TX would not have prevented more time together as adults, however it's been a comfort all these years later to talk with Larry and know the facts. I thank him and Marleen for this very poignant, beautiful tribute to Nancy. She had a special grace about her that I've never known in anyone else, and she looks ageless in these pictures. With gratitude, good memories, and great affection. Much love, Chris Ceszyk Eckhardt.

I'M SENDING A DOVE TO HEAVEN
WITH A PARCEL ON IT'S WINGS,
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU OPEN IT
IT'S FULL OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS,
INSIDE ARE A MILLION KISSES
WRAPPED UP IN A MILLION HUGS,
TO SAY HOW MUCH I MISS YOU
AND TO SEND YOU ALL MY LOVE

I'LL HOLD YOU CLOSE WITHIN MY HEART
AND THERE YOU WILL REMAIN,
TO WALK WITH ME THROUGHOUT MY LIFE
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

Five years have passed but I miss you just the same. I love you mom!

There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven. Spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug, kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again. One more chance to say I LOVE YOU. I love and miss you Mom!

A Mother’s love is binding
Unrelenting in its power
The glow from it so blinding
Beyond her final hour
Even after a Mother’s gone
Her love will see you through
A love to help you carry on
Because that’s what Mother’s do
