There are so many memories of visits to your place growing up and conversations at family gatherings, and all the kindnesses which you always showed us. I am particularly thankful for the care you and Aunt Joan gave to my Mom, and for the great visit we had at your alma mater, Loras College. My family were deeply impressed by the day care service that the two of you provided for children.
You are loved and will be greatly missed. Lots of love to all the Beldas!
