Joann,
Sorry for your loss. I enjoyed taking care of your mother when I worked on the weekends at Altoona Nsg and Rehab. She always would give me a smile!!

She was not only my great-aunt but also a lunch lady at my elementary school. It was a comfort to have a loving relative near at hand every day and she made terrific apple crisp. I liked her more every time I saw her and will miss her now.

I remember spending some time with Carol Ann one year when I came back to Iowa. I also remember Anna making me a birthday cake and sending it home with me on the plane. What a sweet woman she was. I'm glad you had many years to enjoy her.
