Dear Nancy
I was so sorry to read about the passing of your Mom. I am glad I got to meet her when you and she were shopping at Younkers. I had heard many fun stories about her from Claire.
I hope you memories of her will bring you comfort in the passing days
Sincerely

We were backyard neighbors with Lloyd and Bubbie too. They were both such nice people. Bubbie always bought girlscout cookies from Megan and Michelle when they were little. It seems like the day that we would deliver the cookies always took an extra half an hour because we had to step inside and visit for awhile. I remember them being so proud of Josh when he was playing football. She would tell me how much she enjoyed watching the kids play on the swingset and hearing their laughter over the back fence. We will miss her. She is now enjoying her long awaited reunion with Lloyd.
Sincerely,
Nancy, Denny, Megan and Michelle Hanks##imported-begin##Nancy & Denny Hanks and family##imported-end##
Things About Aunt Bubbie And Our Family Times Together
One of the first and best was her smile! She always seemed to be having a great time no matter what, where or how. She just found the good in people and found their soft side. Everyone enjoyed seeing Aunt Bubbie and Uncle Lloyd walk through our door, that meant it was time to relax, have fun and feel the love of our families together.
This was a very special time that has made such a great impact on our lives. We feel blessed to have had so much love, friendship, consideration and respect shown to our family.
Aunt Bubbie we will miss you but never forget you. You will live in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Thank you for being you.
We Love You!

I wrote a few things down that I wanted to pass along. I wrote them because I no longer have continuity between my brain & my tongue.
As most of you probably know, Bubbie's mother & my mother were sisters. A few years ago our mothers were both expecting at the same time. I don't know what they were expecting, but they got Bub & I. At the time they both kept it a secret from each other so they could surprise the other with a new baby. Well Bub wasn't good at keeping secrets so she spoiled their surprise by being born first. She was always first. Very competitive.
Not many of you can remember what a long hazardous trip it was from Kalamazoo to Muskegon, not unless you made the trip in a 1919 Ford. STOP at every gas station for oil & in between you stopped to patch a tire that went flat. When you got to Muskegon you didn't stay a couple of hours and go home, you stayed a couple of days. That was a tiring trip. On occasion my mother and I stayed a week. On one of those trips my fvorite cousin informed me thatwhen we left that they would have to fumigate. I thought that was an awful thing to say about my mother. I never could think of anything nasty enough to reply to that one.
One time Dot and I had company from Boston, Art Dupont and his wife Lilla. Dot worked with Art at a lithograph plant. The four of us got to be good friends so when they came out we introduced them to Lloyd,Bubbie,and Dot and George Kikonni. Someone suggested we all go to one of those dances in the woods up north. I think it was called, something kickers ball. George had a camper so we all went up in that. We parked it at a camp sight and went to the dance. When we got back to the camp sight it was in the middle of the night. Everything was quiet but us. The ladies claimed the camper but were generous with blankets so the men slept on the ground. Art and I each rolled up in a blanket about ten feet apart. Sometime during the night I woke up and there was a river flowing between Art and myself and we were in a torrential down-pour. We begged our way into the camper and all of us tried to sleep in there. About daybreak our camper neighbors got out all their pots and pans and serinaded us. I thought that was awfully nice of them.
I never did find out what our friends thought of Michigan nite-life but I'll bet it varied from what they were use to.
Well all I really wanted to say was that I love my little cousin and will miss her an awful lot.
All our Love Dot and Al##imported-begin##Dot & Al Schmuhl##imported-end##

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Bubbie She was our back door neighbor for the past 21 years. Her and Loyd watched our children grow up and always commented on how wonderful they were. We will miss her friendly wave from the kitchen window and visits at the fence very much. What a great neighbor. She will be deeply missed.##imported-begin##John & Wanda Budnik##imported-end##

I was Mrs. Connell's dental hygienist, but I was also her friend. I cried after her last appointment, because I could see she was failing. What a wonderful lady! And Nancy Jo was a terrific daughter to her--she talked about how special she was every time I saw her. I will miss her, and the family is in my thoughts and prayers right now. She and Lloyd are together again, and perfect in paradise.##imported-begin##Diane Pronick##imported-end##
