Dear John and family,
Your mother was a lovely, kind, and thoughtful person. Her talents were terrific!!
I am looking of a picture of the Boys Club taken before 1970. What a group!! Your mother was probably the last of their spouses known as the Water Lilies. :-) If you would like a copy of the picture, please let me know.
My sympathy to all of you,
Grace Ann (nee Smith) Weiler
Daughter of Arnold and Eleanore Smith
John, Bill and Sarah,
So sorry to hear of your mom’s death, but so glad she made it to 98! I will always appreciate her gentle, caring spirit.
Unfortunately, we will be out of town for the memorial.
John, we need to catch up sometime soon.

John, I am sure you had shared some of mother’s past with me but i did not remember it. It was a pleasure and surprise to read about her life. What i will always remember is a lovely, humble woman and the exceptional son she raised. Sharon E.
Bill, John and Sarah,
Wilb and Dee were great friends of my parents. I was heartbroken when Wilb married your mother. I was only twelve at the time and didn’t understand why he couldn’t have waited for me to grow up. But she got there first and I have to admit he made a good choice. Soon after they were married and they were living in the country, I had the inexplicable urge to plant a packet of tomato seeds. Of the 79 seedlings that survived, my mother allowed me to dig up enough of our lawn to plant 8 of them out and Dee grew on the remaining 71 plants and harvested I can’t imagine how many tomatoes. So I grew to love your mother as well as your father.
I see that you, Bill and John, still live in the area. I hope to track you down when I’m next in GH to see how Wilb and Dee’s boys have turned out, and hear news of Sarah.
I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that you were blessed with wonderful parents.

The memories of your mom and my mom together working at Spring Lake Schools brings back so many fond memories. You all are in my prayers.
Claire and I extend our sincere and deep sympathy to you all. Dee was a real LADY!
She shared her love of music with us and always encouraged me in my musical activities and pursuits.
I knew Dee as teacher, neighbor, secretary and friend.
