We will miss you Aunti Pinky! You were always there for me especially. A light that lit up my life through thick and thin. We love you so much. I have told the Pinky story many times and we shared so many Christmas dinners at the trailer park. I remember Sarah was the only child one year, so she had Santa all to herself! You were an inspiration for me and will always be with me in my heart. Laurel and Sarah
To Don, Dale, Kim, Kittie & families - We offer our greatest sympathy to you and your families on the passing of your mom. Your parents have been our neighbors for 40 plus years and we have enjoyed them immensely. I remember taking swimming classes with Pinky and we still have her sweet bread at a lot of our family functions. Also, she could certainly grow roses and gave me many tips on growing mine. We stopped to see them one year in Florida, while we were there, and they were so hospitable to us. They were so appreciative to us when Joe would snow blow their driveway and would send over goodies that your mom would bake. Pinky had a way about her that you knew you were in the company of a lady with a lot of wisdom and life in her (she didn't have to say a lot - you just knew). She loved her family immensely and our Lakeside neighborhood will never to be same without her in it. Blessings to all of you and may the Lord keep her in His loving arms. Love, Joe and Sharon Fodrocy
