Dave, Janet and your entire family are in our prayers and have our sympathies. Our parents had many interactions while we were all growing up in Sebewaing, not the least of which was our mothers' longtime membership in that ladies' bridge club, during at least 30 years.
Our home was NEVER cleaned harder and more deeply than that one-time-a-year when my Mother hosted your Mom Lete and the rest of the bridge club ladies. Those are special memories.
But Lete's final gift to our late Mother, Gret Rummel, came at a very important time for us, back in 1989. Your Mom was the ultimate care-giver to her as she battled ovarian cancer and finally passed away in her own bed. Your Mother was always helpful, gracious, compassionate and helped guide my brother Jim and me in properly caring for her in the final months. To this day, I don't know how she could do that with such grace and composure. She set quite an example for us all.
Jim and I have also lost our brother, John, in 1997 and our father, Walt, in 2011. But parts of them all live on in us, as your dear Mother does in your family. She was a very special person. We are honored to have known her.
Remember the good times and hold dear the personal memories.
