Dave, Don't know if you remember me but my Grandma Bunny (Bernadette Bowers) was your great aunt. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom, I don't have a lot of memories of your side of the family, but the few I do are good ones. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Debra Bowers

Kinney kids, I just heard about your mom, and wanted to let you know that I always loved her. As Melanie said, we lived behind your house, and our Uncle Ken and our parents were friends of yours. Your mom once saved me from a dog that had knocked me down, and was standing over me growling. I was terrified, and never more pleased to see Alva. Many years later, when our son, Christopher, attended the Hudson Day Care Center, I was thrilled to see your mom there!! It was difficult for us to place him in a center, but we were absolutely in the best place he could be with her, Linda, Betsy, and Barb. His three years there were wonderful for him and for us, and he has many fond memories. I visited your mom a few months ago at CCH, and although I'm not sure if she remembered me, she still had that fabulous smile, and sparkle in her eye. Our thoughts are with all of you. Linda (Larson) Schwenke River Falls

David--I was saddened to hear of your mom's passing. I have such fond memories of her. We were your neighbors when I was little. I remember going to your house one day, bare footed, and I walked through a patch of sandburrs. Your mom rescued me, sat me on a swing on your swingset and picked all of the burrs out of my feet. Years later she was working at the daycare that my nephew attended--he was certainly in good hands. My thoughts are with you and the rest of your family. Melanie Larson
