I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Mary was a special lady. She is
with Uncle Bob and George. I didn't know she had gotten so bad.
There is nothing I can say to take away your sorrow but know someday
we will all be together in heaven with our loved ones. Your family
will be in our prayers and thoughts. May God bless you and keep
you all safe and well.
Love to all

Dear Ila,
I developed severe sacro-iliac mal0adjustment and had to see the chiropractor. I could hardly move. I had an appointmetnat 11:00 and he came at 10:15; it was so tight. I'd planned on coming to the funeral home yesterday a half an hour before your family was to arrive, but had to see the chiropractor during that time. I am still having trouble; got real bad on the way to Altoona that I had to brace my legs on the floor of the car all the way, risking cramping from not being able to release the pressure becuse when I did, I'd get stabbing pains in the sacrok-iliac; it's not a nerve nor sciatica. It's muscles and tendons rebelling because the sacro-iliac isn't stable.
I am so sorry I didn't get to come to the funeral or visitation, either, as I'd like to have met your brother(s) also? I know you lost one brother years ago who lived on Sunset, but can't remember how many brothers you started with.

Dear Ila Mae,
I was sorry to learn from Carol Walker of Grace Baptist that your mother had passed away; I am so glad it went easy for her. She was such a sweet, gracious lady; you can be so thankful. And you were so kind to come and visit her and be so patient, like when I witnessed you helping her in the library; you honored your mother in spite of that you are are a very busy nurse at Lutheran.
Carol W. asked me if I knew Mary, and I said, "Yes; oh, no, she's passed away?" And that's what she was going to tell me. I am 3 days behind in reading the DSM Register, so I wasn't aware of any obituaries. I forgot, if all else fails to have time to read the newspaper, to read the obituaries each morning. I told Carol that I had visited your mother on holidays, i.e. Valentine's Easter, Christmas, or whatever along with two other women, one being Pauline Jones, also of Grace Baptist, and another lady from our church, Grace Church, who at one time was Pauline's roommate.
I remember your Dad driving a S.S. bus along with Cumpston, Howard Crist, the man from Winterset (his name escapes me), Boozell, and Dan. Dan and Howard worked on the buses till Howard's arthritis got to be too much and then Dan took it over. I guess your Dad was also a mechanic? worked as such on trucks, was it? forget the name of the company.
My E-mail address is maryeliz46@msn.com, even though I entered it on the form; for I don't know how they handle E-mail addresses, and I wanted to make sure you have it if you'd like to reply.
I have an appointment Fri. at 11:00, so I am going to stop by Hamilton's South at 10:30, even though I know you won't be there yet. I want to pay my last respects even if no one is there.
Love in Christ,
Mary and Dan Johnson
