My Special Phyllis Memory:
When I retired in 1998, one of the first trips I planned was to Stockbridge, Mass in my then new blue station wagon (which is now my old blue wagon) with Phyl. One task we were to accomplish was finding her family plot, which we did. Tears streamed down her face as we stood in the cold, windy cemetery in March 1998 when I found it (she didn't think we would locate it among the many headstones). We had lunch at the famous Red Lion Inn.
We also visited the home of her grandparents at my insistence (she didn't want to intrude but I convinced her it wasn't an intrusion and they could refuse our request). When we knocked on the door and explained why we were there, the current owner graciously gave us a tour of the remodeled farmhouse. It was one of the highlights of the trip. It was also a special entry in my memory bank.
We all have special memories...."Friends are the most important part of your life. Treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories."

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.
Norman, you must be so proud to have had such a wonderful mother...may all of your memories keep her alive in your heart forever.
So sorry to hear about your mothers passing.
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I loved reading the article about her! What a tremendous life force she was and will continue to remain in your life. No matter what age our dear parents pass, it is always too soon. My heart goes out to you and your family.
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. I didn't have the honour of meeting Mrs. Haase but I can see from the posting and articles that she is greatly missed. What an amazing spirit! Thank you for sharing these memories with total strangers. In grief we are all connected. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
In deepest sympathy,
Erica
