Keeping you all close in our thoughts today. Sorrow and pain are terrible to bear. The heartfelt thought that there is hope in each new tomorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear cousins…May the comfort of family, friends and God help you all during this difficult time. Your mother, grandmother was a wonderful person, beautiful inside and out. I found this little quote that you may find comforting and wanted to share.
To Alvina:
“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered come to me. With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although you were loved dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.”
Love you all and let the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We are thinking & sending our love & prayers to all of you.
Miss you lots!

Mom you were the best mom any son could ever have. YOu were always there for all us kids and when times got tough and we thought we could not get through what we were going through you were always there. I remember all the times we shared at the cabin with family and friends and when things went wrong you were always there. No one could ask for a better mom then you, you have a very special spot in my heart and I will never forget that mom.

My simpathy to all of you on the loss of your mother, grandma and great grandma. Alvina was a sweet kind hearted person. It was nice to see her when she made the trips to Minnesota. My mom Angie Schlegel was a sister to Alvina. It was fun to see all them sisters together and enjoying each others company. We know the loss you’re feeling and pray for God to give you comfort through these hard times. We know Thomas, Rodney, John, Mary and Angie were all there welcoming her home. May she rest in peace. God Bless you.
Sorry to hear of the loss of mom. She was one special person. We had many good times together.
