Family

We recently traveled back to Indiana for the sad event of my mother's passing. We miss her terribly, but take comfort in knowing she is with our Lord and reunited with the love of her life, my dad Barney, and our siblings Rosalie, Brian and Christine, as well as family and friends who have gone before. She was a beautiful, gentle person who gave of herself constantly, and Heaven is a richer place with her there.
Here she is as a child

And as a beautiful and stylish young woman about town
In 1938, she married my dad and remains faithfully in love after over 7 decades
This is a rare photo of her whole family, except Christine who died at birth
Here she is celebrating her 88th birthday last August

Thank you, mom, for giving us all so much, and rest in perfect peace. We will see you again, and will hold you in our hearts until then.
