I have fond memories of spending time with Aunt Edith, especially picking fruit during summers of my childhood. I hope she and her sister, my mother, are having a grand reunion in Heaven!

Aunt Edith was always a special Aunt for me. I spent much time with her as a child. My Dad, Bill, was very close to her and he misses her. Love Carole and Larry

Gerald W. Michels borrowing Dennis' computer, as he and Ann have graciously extended their hospitality again. Thank you Aymee for providing the link to make if convenient to find this while using someone else's machine. Our most recent information indicates that Jason is on his way, and others expect to participate. Arnold has loaned me his best guitar which we used at George and Patty's last night. I expect to do a few photos for all who are unable to attend, and would like to secure at least a sound tape-recorder, plus, if possible, contact you by phone during the events. And to everybody else who may find their way to this site, God bless you, thank you, contact whomsoever you will, all are welcome, the event is now and we only get one time. G. W. M.

The picture displayed is of my daughter with my grandmother. The book they are reading is called "In His Footsteps" I think that is very appropriate being that she is dancing with Jesus now. We love you grandma, and we already miss you. xoxoxo
