Dear Randy,Robert,Raymond and Roxanne & the grandchildren, When I think of your mom ,so many thoughts come to mind..She smiled alot..she was so happy when each one of you came into her life, she was a good mom & she was so beautiful, I always thought she looked like Susan Pleshette, maybe even prettier! She and Dick came to see us on their honeymoon and I could tell some funny stories about that!!! SHE WAS A WONDERFUL COOK and I am lucky to have her beer batter recipe for fish! She was a wonderful hostess and wow, did she know her way around restaurants.. She welcomed people there just as she did at her home!! She sent me pictures of all of you when you were school age and I love her for that ( I wish so many times I had been better about keeping in touch because I missed knowing you guys really well amd in my book that is one terrible loss! Keep your happy memories close and always remember how very much she loved you and her grandchildren. Love always, Bev & Rube

Your mom/grandma was so much fun. She loved the water. Every Wednesday during a couple summers we went tubing down the Zumbro. And that huge swimming pool in her backyard for so many years.... So sorry to see her go.
