We all have felt a tremendous loss in our family. Roxie, my Grandmother was one of the cornerstones of the family. My memories of Grandma usually surround food. Now before all of you laugh take a moment and remember she did something for each of us. Cream Peas, Cinnamin Candied Apples, Mashed Potatoes, Peanut Brittle (ok rumor has it that Grandpa made the best Peanut Brittle) were all things that were done to show each of us that she loved us.
When I came to Nebraska to pay my respects and support the family I felt her love in each and every one of my family members. Her love and nurturing has influenced us all. Bonnie, Betty, Lynn, Mark, Natalie, Cindy, David and even our extended family Larry, John and Kevin all made me feel appreciated and loved. I want to thank you all.
Grandma went out of her way to make us feel special. Our family has geographically become very diverse with members as far away as The Netherlands now. We will all need to go out of our way to keep our family close. I know that was one of Grandma and Grandpa's deepest wishes, a strong, loving and close family.
Thank you again one and all for everything all of you did on my trip.
If you have any pictures, please send them to me... the ones I took are here (below). I'll add more as I get a chance to catch up.
