In 2009 Mom was residing at the Villa Nursing Home in Alma, Nebraska. When Cindy, Rob, and Jim came for a visit in August of 2009, we went up to the Villa to see her. Her room was shared with another guest, so I took her out to the Gazebo. She really perked up visiting with the kids. Jim entertained her with his jokes and quips and Mom answered alertly. Rob, always the silent one, still visited with her and made her smile.
Mother passed away on November 16, 2009.
