Ruthanne,
I was so sorry to hear the news about your Mom. Anne Wagenhals Kleeberg sent me her obit via e-mail. I'm just glad I had a chance to see her at the Cloisters in June while visiting my own Mom. I told her I was Fritz Grove's daughter and we gave one another a hug. Your Mom hired me for my first job at King Manor Nursing Home and of course both of our mothers were very dedicated in organizing and preparing so many of those meals at the United Church. I've always had the utmost respect for your mother and always admired her strength and generosity. How fortunate you were to have such a wonderful role model! Take care!

Oct 17.11 from Susan Trick Stebbins:
I have the fondest of memories of Mrs. Bone. As children, my sister Carole and I were fortunate enough to be neighbors of the Bone family, and spent many happy hours as guests on their trampoline. How she didn't go mad from the noise of our screaming and laughing is testament to her loving and generous nature. May she speed to her heaven.
