I remeber hearing my dad shout out loud in front of the home we lived in. When I looked out the window he was covered with my clothing. When I asked her why, her response was she had told me several times to clear up my side of our shared closet and I never did and this showed she meant what she was saying to me. After this I got busy on the clean up job and she started bringing in my clothing from outside. Believe me, she never had to worry about a messy closet again! When I was suffering affects of surgery after falling down at work. she and Dean came up from Ohio to Wisconsin, where I live. With their encouragement I fought harder for a positive outcome. More people who interacted with her will have positive memories and enjoy life.

She was a loving and kind sister. She was always honest and never vindictive. I miss her so much! She gave to others even if she was going through a difficult time, such as the aspects of dealing with cancer. And what a sense of humor! My two sons have joyful memories of her and Dean and Kevin. I will always miss my "little" sister. Love, Nancy
