She taught us how to work and to keep a house.
She was a great seamstress and worked so hard on clothes for us.
She loved the garden and made the yard in Hawaii (with Burke's help) a paradise.

I love Grandma because:
She raised three of my favorite people.
She has great taste.
She loves to laugh and is so easy to talk to.
She is very interested in keeping in touch and knowing what's going on in our lives.
Amen to John's hair color comment... we hope to have a red head someday as well.
She is very positive and upbeat.
She was so good to Anna and I when we went to Hawaii. I had convinced Anna to blow all of her money on a Nintendo game right before we went to Hawaii so we had no money and I remember Grandma taking us shopping and buying us clothes. I loved that trip to see you and Grandpa.

Thanks for wonderful memories and for creating such a wonderful family that I'm so proud to be a part of.

Love,

Don

I love Rusty because she is everything that counts in my life.
She is always fun to be with.
She is a great wife, mother and friend.
She doesn't get upset when I kid her.
She knows all my foibles and still puts up with them.
She made it possible for me to further my education.
She never complained when we were unable to do things we wanted.
She was a terrible camper, but joined in the fun anyway.
She always looked like she stepped out of a fashion magazine.
She was the favorite of all my fellow workers and friends.
She overcame with her charm and affection all my family who were sure that our marriage was an enormous mistake.
I love her without reservation and thank God He made her mine
