Dear Joan,

We moved from Iowa City last year and I did not know of your mothers' passing until now. My sincere sympathies in the loss of your mother.

I remember going to your house while in grade school and your mother was kind in nature. (Just like you).

She was a good friend and neighbor. We would occasionally get together in the afternoon at her house to visit & have tea. And if the weather was bad, we would talk on the phone. I will miss her and I have missed her since she left for the nursing home.

I remember the City didn't plow "Dicken's Lane" so Carol and I trudged through the drifts to Horace Mann. They call that Dodge Street Court today and it has sidewalk from the cemetery east to the corner that turns toward your house. Your Mom was beautiful and so nice!

Joni & Family,

Among many other things grandma was a major contributor to the straightening of my teeth. I can't count the number of times she picked me up from school to take me to the orthodontist... I have many fond memories of hanging out at her house waiting for this, that and various other things.

Gail, I'm so very sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to read about your Mom, Carol. Marie lived a very long wonderful life. You won't believe me but I have been thinking about calling Marie for months for some odd reason. I guess thinking about the fun times she had with my Mom years ago. Your Mom had the sweetest smile and cute giggle. My Mom has been gone for 14 yrs now. There is never a day goes by that you dont somehow think of your Mom. Maybe a recipe you wish you had or a Xmas decoration she always put up, etc. Marie will be missed by all who knew her but you all will have fond memories forever. You have our deepest sympathy.

To the family: My sincerest sympathy on the passing of your beloved Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Fond memories of younger days, holiday dinners and hanging out with cousins.

She will always live on in my Heart.

I miss her home made sour kraut.
