"It is hard to lose a parent no matter how old we are, isn't it? I have been thinking about all eight of you and especially you, Anita, since I learned of your mother's passing. I always enjoyed your mother, she was a bastion of strength and kindness. I never saw her annoyed even during one of Anita's junior high slumber parties. My gosh, we were obnoxious and loud! It was my delight and my honor to have known your mother...and all of you! Blessings to the entire Meyer family during this trying time. p.s. Hey Jerry, remember when you broke your ankle ( did you get bucked off Dallas?) and we loaded you in the back of my mother's station wagon and she took you to the doctor? Your mother was cool as a cucumber."
"So sorry Bernice is gone from all in Imogene. We loved having her in the Choir. She made the two flights of stairs up to the choir look so easy! She remembered our wedding from 50 years ago and always had kind things to tell people. Will miss her in Hy Vee or Walmart even when Covid was around she went shopping. Great lady. You all had a wonderful mother. John and Peggy Martin"
