Kurt,
So sorry to hear that your mom passed away. I can tell from the memorial that she was a wonderful, faithful woman of God. May the Lord give you and your family great peace and comfort. Praying for you.
Our sympathy in the loss of your mother. Aunt Maxine was another of the greatest generation who left us with some wonderful memories, and four cousins and their families.. I hope we can renew acquaintance with you via email, Facebook or phone when things settle down for you all and you are back home. I will always remember Aunt Maxine for all the people she took care of, including the lady who lived in the trailer behind the house you grew up in, Aunt Norma, Grandma D., , and the farm hand ( Ruben?) and his parents. I think of Aunt Maxine with admiration as a pretty much a no nonsense , get things done person Our love, Anne and Peter Nicolaou
