This was a lovely lady who as a young girl learned to play the piano, organ and harp. She was blessed with many friends and had a great love of books. As a young girl she attanded summer camp in Minnesota. Later she went with her family to Oklahome. She learned to live with and respect tornadoes. She worked in the oil business there. Upon her father's death, she returned to the town of Genesee, Alle co, NY, where late in life she met her husband and had two sons. It was her photographs that preserved some wonderful family history. On summer nights around a campfire she could tell some pretty scary ghost stories. She had a great love of books and read nightly to her sons. Among other things she was an excellent horse rider. Every Christmas she would go with the boys and cut a live Christmas tree. Decorating it was a family tradition.

Breast cancer ended a happy and productive life. I can only hope that when she crossed over into heaven that all the wonderful folks that loved her when she was very young were there to greet her and make her journey a warm and wonderful experience.
