It is very sad that you all have lost your mother and grandmother. She was a very talented person. She had such a wonderful sense of good taste as was seen in her culinary skills, her dress and her beautiful home decorations. All done with love and for the comfort of others. Cry when you must, but also smile a lot when you think of her. Boy, did she like to roll the Bunko's. Joanie Clute

To my sweet Aunt Barbara and her daughters, Rene and Mona.
There are no words to express my sadness. Your mom has been a true blessing in my life. I will miss her hugs and hearing her laugh. I am so glad I was able to spend a couple days with her in June. I know she is a Guardian Angel with Grandmommy Lill, watching over all of us. With deepest sympathy and love.
