   So sorry to hear about your mother/grandmother's passing. I hope she is at peace. Hope it helps to know someone is thinking of you in the time of sorrow. Just reflecting back on all the camping we use to do and our trip to Canada. Those were the good old days.

   Your Mother became a dear friend to my Mother, Alice Winsand, at the Home Place. She would knock on my mother's door every morning and walk to breakfast with her. What a sweet lady she was. My Mother misses her. Our Sincere Sympathy to all.

   So sorry, Debi to hear of your mother. Many years ago when you were working in Plum City, I remember you talking of your mother. It is hard when you lose one so special. God bless you
