You are in our prayers and thoughts.
Sorry for your loss.
Blessed to have had you as a grandmother . . . you will always be in my heart!
Grandma, your legacy lives on through your family that loved you so much! You are an inspiration to all of us. Things won’t be the same without you! Love you!
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You all have my deepest sympathy and prayers.
I am so sorry to read about Arlene’s passing. She was very helpful to me, while I was researching & writing “The House That Kirscht Built,” and in the years after, when she would telephone me and send letters with the latest births, marriages, and deaths in her large family. She was from that generation in the St. Michael, Albertville, Buffalo, and Monticello area that is almost gone now—how sad for us of the 21st century.
