Tributes
"We have fond memories of visiting Auntie Janet on the farm. Us city kids playing in the barn, deer hunting and many family gatherings. Last Friday, April 13th Doug, Teresa, Jeff and Marian we able to go to Rushford to visit Aunt Mim and Auntie Janet. She looked wonderful, up and around in her wheelchair. We had a great visit. We were able to get a couple photos of her inspite of her thinking the camera was going to break. Teresa told her she took pictures of her before and the camera still works. We will treasure our memories and we will miss her greatly. Our thoughts and prayers our with all of you!"
"The moon descended And I found with the break of dawn You and the song had gone But the melody lingers on Her body may be gone, but she lives on. Her life and blood and memory live on in us, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I don't think I've ever seen anything in my life that taught me more about the meaning of time, than watching my grandma age. It was a blessing and a miracle and I am grateful that my time and my grandmother's time overlapped for as long as they did, and that I could learn some of what she had to teach me."
"Norris: Read of your mother passing away in the paper. I am so sorry. We all are getting older, and so are our parents. I still have my mother, and am so grateful for that. I am sure you had many happy times together, and cherish those. Bonnie Engrav Boettcher"
