Aunt Nora, I remember teaching you to crochet, well mostly laughing. Once I figured out you were left handed then it went a lot smoother. The smile on your face when you won a ribbon at the fair. I will truly miss you.

Grandma - I am devastated not having you here anymore, but I am thankful that you are finally out of pain and resting in peace, with grandpa and the gang.
I am privileged to have so many memories of you (us):
* Taking and picking me up from pre-school speech therapy classes and then sharing a Tostino's Pizza (cut up in tiny squares) daily for lunch.
* Having game night at your house, almost every weekend, during high school. Everyone thinking that we were up to no good, but actually playing Phase 10, Tripoley and/or Quarters.
* Taking a High School Graduation Trip to Texas (Houston, San Antonio and Galveston Island) and hanging out with Uncle Mike in the process.
* Celebrating my 21st Birthday in Vegas. Getting lost as we tried to find our way off the beaten path. You waking me up each morning to hit the slots and to enjoy a cold beverage.
* Being accepting of me and my friends and always wanting to have a-get-together on our Annual Chicago to Des Moines Trip. It didn't matter if there were five of us or 10 of us, you wanted to make sure you got to see everyone (the boys) and to spoil them with your homemade chicken and noodles!
And the memories and stories that I have of you (us) go on and on.
You will always and forever be in my heart!
Love - Craig
