Gma I miss you so much... I am crying like a little baby as I am writting this to you, and as always I can hear you telling me... Mandy, why are you crying I'm in a better place, but yet I still cannot come to terms with you being gone. I honestly dont think I will ever be able to accept that you are not here but as the days go by it gets more tolerable. It is you that made me who I am today. I always wanted to make you proud, I will never stop making you proud. The girls miss you so much too I will always help them remember you and all the memories we have on video of you and gpa! I LOVE you more than words can say. I pray to the Lord above to keep you and gpa with him and to watch over us all as we go thru this life without you by our sides.
@ Mrs. Hartung Steven was able to come to the funeral, and is doing ok.
@ everyone else: Thank you for your condolences!

I got to know Joyce when I was Stephen's kindergarten teacher at McKinley School and I was very fond of her. I was sorry to read of her passing and wanted the family and especially Stephen to know I am thinking of you. She was a very nice lady and I hope she wasn't ill a long time. If anyone has the time to let me know how Stephen is doing, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Joan Hartung

I know you loved everyone, and I know you tried to hold on. I know I have so much anger inside for so many reasons. I know I need you now more than anything. I keep thinking of things to say, however I can't put into words how I feel. I lost my grandmother, best friend, and most of all a true friend. No matter what you always talked to me, told me things you didn't tell anyone else. I feel so special for that, and as I try to be strong for the rest of our family I feel my self breaking. I just think to myself how angery I am and will this pain ever go away? I don't know, maybe I hold on to it so I can keep your smell, your voice, and smile dear to my heart. I don't ever want to forget and let you fade away to the back of my heart as we do to so many of our loves ones that pass away. I love you so much and I know you are watching over all of us. I pray for all of us and the rest of the family. Til that day I see your smile again just remember that I love you and miss you so much.
Love you,
Stephanie schroeder

Hi Sis,
I miss you so much and look forward to the day we will be together again. I can't stop thinking about us singing together when we were kids standing in our bedroom looking through the country music song books and learning the songs together and you teaching me about them. I am so amazed when I see pictures of you and your family and all the things you all did together and how happy you all were. You were certainly a guiding force in all their lives. What a full life you had and what an example you have set for all of us. You opened your heart and your home to anyone, I don't think you ever knew a stranger or turned anyone away that needed something whether it was a place to sleep for the night, food, money or anything, you always helped when you could. I will certainly think of you whenever anyone needs my help and do what I can.
Last night your favorite song kept running through my mind 'Blue Eyes Crying in The Rain' and now you and Chuck are together again up yonder and blue eyes are not crying anymore. So hello to all our family for me.
Till we meet again,
Love
Your sister Joan.

Oh my Sis!!! How are we ever going to be the same without you? You were such a warm and loving person. Always a smile on your face. I wish we could turn back the hands of time and all be here. Young, laughing, playing....but that is not to be. But someday we will all be together again. And there will be no pain or sorrow, or suffering! The circle may be broken for now, but by and by as the song goes, we will be together. I love you so much, and my heart is breaking. I remember staying with you a lot as a kid. Watching your children or just coming over to stay for the weekend! Those were the days. Along with our singing together. I loved that. Smile every time I think about it. You may be gone, but will certainly never forgotten. You will live on in our hearts and minds, and most importantly in your precious children and grandchildren. You taught them well Sis. Tell we see each other again, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
Judy

Joyce:
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
But He seen you getting tired, so He put His arms around you & whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes; family watched you, & saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. He broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best!
Joyce we all loved you dearly!
John, Tracy, Justin & Jordan
