GOLDIE WAS LIKE AN AUNT TO OUR FAMILY. MY MOTHER WAS JOANIE FOUCH-LLEWELLYN. WE HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES AND ENOUGH LAUGHTER TO KEEP US SMILING TILL WE SEE HER AGAIN IN THE KITCHEN COOKING IN HEAVEN. I KNOW SHE IS TELL STORIES AND ORGANIZING ALL THE FAMILIES ACTIVITIES. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I THOUGHT OF GOLDIE LIKE OUR GRANDMOTHER BECAUSE SHE WOULD TELL US STORIES OF OUR GRANDMOTHER WHO WE NEVER MET. SHE MADE OUR GRANDMOTHER COME TO LIFE FOR US.AS LONG AS WE TELL THE STORIES AND REMEMBER THEM THEY LIVE ON.PASS ON ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT WERE HER TESTAMENT. WE LOVED HER.

Wonderful memories of the fun we had on visits to the Tevlin Family in St. Louis. We will all miss the cooking, stories, game playing, and laughter with we shared when Goldie was in town. She will always will be remembered and loved by Donna, Andrew, Laura, and myself.

I remeber Goldie coming to visit. She was full of life and made work fun. She pulled out Mom's Paul Revere pots & pans and went to work polishing the copper bottoms and really enjoyed the task. She was always ready for a Yahtzee game and taught us how to make chertiga. We will always remember her zest for life. Love,

Linda, Carl, Paul & Denise Pleasant

WE MISS YOUR WONDERFUL SMILE AND FRINDLY WAYS BUT KNOW YOU ARE IN GOD'S KINGDOM AND HAPPY. HOW WE ENJOYED YOUR HOSPITALITY WHEN WE VISITED YOU IN FLORIDA. MEMORIES THAT CAN'T BE ERASED. YOU ALWAYS LOVED MARY ANNA TAKING YOU SHOPPING. THOSE BIKE RIDES TO THE SWIMMING POOL WERE A CHALLENGE ON THOSE "THREE WHEELERS". GOD BLESS YOU.

Sis, you will be truly missed, for

your caring ways and helpfulness and the love you gave me all my life.I'll miss our yahtzee games and

bunco games and our rummikub parties

we had in Florida and in Oak Forest .I'll miss our everyday phone

calls when in Florida and our weekly calls when in Ill, but most

of all I'll miss you and your smiling face and our fun talks and

our laughs together and the stories

about our life as a family together.

Thanks for looking after me as a child, and thanks for letting me look after you for a little while.

Love you, your kid sis, Grace

I will miss joking with you on a continual basis! I'll never forget you! You're memory will forever live on in my heart.

We will always remember your Mom's zest for life. No matter what she did with us as I was growing up, and even when Daniel visited her in Vero Beach, she was teaching us something. However, we usually didn't realize it as we were having too much fun enjoying what she was sharing with us. Thank you for sharing her with us. She taught a love of exploring new things, new ways of doing the mundane and made it fun. She past that on to each of you, too. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
