Trisha? I have always know you as Patti. I have alot of memories of your family.

The summer I spent on the farm to watch over you and Bobby while your mom worked and the many things she did for me, as my mom had had passed away earlier that year. I think your mom's laugh is something we will all remember, it was contagious. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Myra

Trish,

I was just about 10 years old when I first met your mother. She had just been recently married to Master Sergeant Northup and he was on leave from the US Army during the World War Two days of the 1940s.

She was full of fun and quick witted. My Dad and Mom, Joe and Marge Kerf, enjoyed many visits with Vince and Erdine during the many years they lived in the Iowa City area.

May God Bless Erdine and her loved ones.

Dear Trish, I am sorry about the loss of your Mom. Her gifts of humor and faith will guide you. I know that you have many good memories to fill your heart and probably a book. Take care, Mary McCarthy

PS Your parents can now be the greeters in that great lobby of heaven!

I'm really going to miss that funny old lady. She was a true treasure to be around.
