Dear Sherry, Linda, Jamie, and your children and grandchildren, I am deeply sorry for your loss, and understand what you are going through all too well. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about my mom. Time has helped temper my grief and it will for you as well. Aunt Shirley is now with Big Mom and Big Dad, Aunt Nan, Uncle Don, Aunt Thelma, my mom Anita, and other family members. One day we will be with them as well. I take great solace in that. Some tidbits regarding your mom: 1. She loved to swim and was very good at it. Back in the early 1960's my mother and your mom would take us kids to Stoney Creek and play at the beach. Your mom would literally and effortlessly swim from one side of the lake to the other and back. Very impressive to say the least. 2. She understood the value of an education. In the 1970's I took several classes at Macomb Community College with your mom and mine. The classes were Business Math, General Business, and Beginning Algebra. They enjoyed going very much. 3. As many have stated she loved to dance. In the 1970's your mom used to go to several Country & Western Clubs (think Hayloft). She went with my mom, Linda Hegwood, Slim and Jenny. Every now and then I would stop by and they would drag me out on the dance floor. They had a blast! I remember your mom as a very nice and loving person and I will cherish my memories of her for all eternity. Bob (Steve)
