2006 Reunion
Since 1954 I went to work in the Office of Heil Co., where I
worked for about one and half years until I was laid off. I then
went to work at Press Steel Tank Co. Dan was released from the
army in March of 1956 and we were married in September of
1956. I only worked about a month after we were married, in
July of 1957 we had our first baby. That was a real adjustment
for me, but I did well, then in October of 1958, we had another
baby. It was a real joy, I love being a mother. I worked really
hard raising my family. December of 1960 we had our third
baby. I was really busy taking care of my family. In February
1965, we had our fourth baby. We now had two girls and two
boys. Was a good sized family and kept me busy all the time.

We did travel to Florida to see my folks in the winter months.
The children all grew up and got married. In 1982 we moved to
Wind Lake, we had two of our children move with us as they were
not married yet. David only lived with us a year then he got
married. Sue got married a few years later.
Dan and I would go to Tucson, Arizona in the winter months
from 1987 till 1994 to visit friends and also Dan's brother in
California. I Always enjoy those trips having a great time with
friends. Our friends have now moved back to Wisconsin, so we
see them often.
Dan was working at the sod farm delivering sod and they needed
help in the office so I went to work for them too.
In between all of this, I felt lead to help in the AWANA
(Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) program at our Church. I
started to take my grandchildren plus some of their friends. I
had the van full every Wednesday night with children ranging
from ages 3 years old to teenagers. What time I had with my
grandchildren and their friends. I am still helping out in the
AWANA program seeing as my youngest grand daughter has 2
more years to finish with the program. They have all come to
know the LORD through the AWANA program.

I have been teaching Sunday School at our Church for the past
two years now too.

We celebrate everyones 25th and 50th Wedding Anniversaries
plus graduations at our Church with a Cake. I have been busy
baking the Cakes and decorating them. It is not a professional
job but they do look good.

I do a lot of praying and with the help of the LORD, I do fine.
I have lived alone for two years now, seeing as Dan went home to
be with the LORD in November of 2005. I"m doing good, going
forward and trusting in the LORD. I thank the LORD for all the
good friends I have.

In August of 2008, I will be a Great Grandmother. What a
Blessing from the LORD, for I have 12 grandchildren, 9 boys and
3 girls. One Grandchild is married.

I love them all for they are a real Blessing to me.
