This has been a very difficult time, and it feels like it has been a long ordeal and a short whirlwind all at once. But it has been wonderful to get to know Mom even better through all of the cards, visits, phone calls, and e-messages that her friends and family have left for her. She touched different people's lives in so many different ways, and it is wonderful to see all of those memories together.
I think the only thing that I am sure I want to say right now is to pass along the details of the service and visitation, because that is all the "news" to post. So.
The obituary is posted with the Mankato Free Press. The short version will be printed in Friday's paper and is posted online here.
The long version of the obituary is now posted online.
The visitation will be at Woodland Hills Funeral Home Sunday July 8 at the Woodland Hills Funeral Home from 2-5pm.
The funeral service will be at 10am on Monday at her home church, Belgrade Ave UMC. Burial will follow at Eagle Lake Cemetery and we will return to the church for a luncheon.
If you want to share any specific thoughts or memories with us and others reading the blog, please send them as emails or post them to the blog. We do want to speak with everyone at the services, but in keeping with Mom's love of history and genealogy (and knowing that we are not going to remember everything that people tell us over the next few days) if you can write them down we will be able to treasure those things for a long time.
With love, Heather & Dan
