Dear Mom,
11 years have passed. We have all good memories. How I wish you could meet your great granddaughter Quinn! She is a wonderful little girl. You would fall in love with her, as she would fall in love with you !
Rest in peace. Enjoy those polkas in Heaven. I bet Dad is a great dancer up there!
All our love,
Sbohom,
Denny and Judy

Mom,
It is hard to believe that it is 10 years since we saw your smiling face. Jen and I always say and do things that remind us of you. "That's a Grandma thing!"
We know you are happy in Heaven with Dad and all the relatives. We know you are looking down on your Great granddaughter Quinn and loving every minute as she grows.
We love you.
Judy and Dennis

Oh,Mom. It is so hard to believe that it has been 9 years since we have seen you here on earth. There are still times that I say to Jen, "I have to call Grandma to tell her that!" We wish you could be here to see your first Great Grandchild-Ryan and Jessica are having a baby! I will get to experience the joy you felt and beamed with every time you saw Ryan and Jennifer.
We know you are watching from Heaven and will be celebrating with Dad when the baby is born.
We always love you and think of you.
Say hello to all of the relatives "jlackta"!

Judy, Denny, Ryan & Jennifer,
So very sorry to hear of the loss of Ciel. She was a very sweet woman and we always enjoyed seeing her at your family parties. This poem always brings me comfort. I hope that it brings you some comfort too. WEEP NOT Weep not for me, when I am gone, I've lived my life, I've sung my song. Known tears and laughter, sun and rain, a life that brought more joy then pain. I've been content with love so deep, that peacefully, I'll ever sleep. A love we shared with joy untold, and kept me young, though I grew old. I've held my babies in my arms, and felt the thrill of their sweet charms. Had many friends and family too, that smoothed the way as I passed through. Weep not for me, when life is done, for I have been the richest one. I will go home, content to see the One who gave it all to me. We will make a donation in Loving Memory of Ciel to the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home. Our deepest condolences to all of you. May your memories of Ciel bring you comfort. Love, your cousins, Kathleen & Rick Schroeder

Dear Judy, Dennis and family...John and I are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. It is a blessing to have them for so long, but makes saying goodbye all the more difficult.

Grandma,
You are so much more than my grandma. You are my favorite baker and Scrabble partner and my Friday afternoon lunch buddy. You have taught me to be faithful and love God. You have shown me that one can live a beautiful and long life through prayer and a positive attitude. Thank you for being my grandma and my friend. I love you always.
