Carl and Linda and families,
I am so glad that we got a chance to meet each other at the funeral service for your dad. My mom, Alice Lawie was your dad's first cousin. Her parents were Charles & Grace Fielstra. She just passed away on April 1st, '08. They were two peas in a pod. They were either going out to eat or my mom would cook for him. She loved having your dad in her life. He was so special to her, and I know the feelings were mutual. When my mom needed 24/7 care, there was a 2-week wait before we could move her into Christain Care. I stayed with her, but I knew it would be hard on your dad and my mom to be separated, so I told her to have him come down for supper every night, They enjoyed having meals together and listening to their Christain broadcasting station on the radio. They also enjoyed Lawrence Welk, so that is why my son bought them those CD's for Christmas. Every night, your dad came down to watch Little House on the Praire. Even after mom moved to Christain Care, your dad came to see mom every night. He was a wonderful man and I want you both to know how much it means to our family that they were there for each other. Thank you for sharing your father. God bless you.##imported-begin##Linda Carlson##imported-end##
