Mom...
They say we are so fortunate to have had you for 96 years. To this I agree, but it doesn’t seem enough, I miss you. I miss your hard hugs, I miss taking you to First Watch and Rib Crib, I miss sending you pictures of Mabel and Greta and sharing their latest funny little happenings. I miss ending our phone calls with, “I love you.” I believe it was God’s plan to have us all there when you passed into his arms. I feel blessed to have held your hand and kissed you good bye. I pray you rest easy and peacefully with Dad, Karin, your babies and all your family that loves you. Lyn and I will take care of each other. Please pray for us and your earthly family, including your great grand babies that are joining us soon. I love you Mom. Diane
What a legacy you left! I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to call you grandma. You provided me a home more than once and were able to spend a couple years together in AZ. Your faith in God and committment to give to others sets an example I hope to follow during all of my life. Jesus, I pray that you are holding my grandmother in your warm embrace and that she is reunited with her earthly loves who have already departed.
Dorie was my dear best friend. We spent many hours talking in her apartment before the Covid 19 and many hours on the phone after the quarantine was in place. Dorie lived a very full and adventure life with her husband Jack and she would share those stories with me. Dorie loved her family and they were always her first priority. I loved spending time with Dorie, whether it was taking her to Dr. Gearhart's or Dr. Stephens' offices. Dorie's most favorite shopping place was KOHL's in the children's section shopping for her great granddaughters. Dorie and I had the type of relationship that we could tell each other with honesty how we felt. I would call her to remind her to watch Bluebloods on Friday night or other specials that I knew she would enjoy watching. I loved Dorie very, very much and I will miss her more that words can express. There are many things that remind me of Dorie. Right now those memories are so fresh and painful. For instance I went to Walmart, yesterday and I would see all the grocery items that would be on Dorie's grocery list. I am so very thankful and appreciative to our Heavenly Father that He brought Dorie and I together. The bonding connection was Iowa. Dorie was a true gift and a true best friend of seven years! There is and never will be another Dorie. I pray for comfort and peace for Dorie's family. I thank them with all my heart that they shared their mother with me.
Dori was such a good friend and neighbor to my mother, Dorothy Parkening, at University Village. She was always so pleasant and friendly.
Mom, I am grateful you are at peace. You led a full, amazing life and are missed by friends and family. Thank you for sharing the last few days with me, I treasure our new and old memories. Love you always, Lyn
